The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar

The seven stories in this collection are brilliant examples of the bizarre and wholly unexpected world that Roald Dahl, 'that great magician' (Spectator), made his own. It includes not only the trademark dark humor and the other-worldly goings-on of 'The Swan' and 'The Boy Who Talked With Animals', but also a fascinating short essay on how he started writing, his first-ever story, 'A Piece of Cake', and the delightfully surprising title tale of a rich young idler who develops a most remarkable ability.
