{"product_id":"the-best-of-roald-dahl-stories","title":"The Best of Roald Dahl: Stories","description":"Includes the story \"The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar\" now an ACADEMY AWARD®-winning short film from Wes Anderson on Netflix\n\nA collection of the best short stories from a writer with \"an ingenious imagination, a fascination with odd and ordinary detail, and a lust for its thorough exploitation\" (The New York Times Book Review).\n\nIf Stephen King could write with murderous concision, he might have come up with \"The Landlady,\" the story of a boarding house with an oddly talented proprietress and a small but permanent clientele. If Clive Barker had a sense of humor, he might have written \"Pig,\" a brutally funny look at cooks and vegetarianism. And a more bloodthirsty Jorge Luis Borges might have imagined the fanatical little gambler in \"Man From the South,\" who does his betting with a hammer, nails, and a butcher knife.\n\nBut all these stories in this volume were written by Roald Dahl, whose genius for the horrific and grotesque is unparalleled and entirely his own.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679729917\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0679729917.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dahl, Roald\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
