Measures 4-3/8" X 7-3/32", 237+ pp, written by Roald Dahl, stated "This collection first published in Penguin Books 2016" and "001," mass market paperback published by Penguin Boos (UK).

Most contemporary readers may be content to believe that ROALD DAHL was largely a writer of oddly unusual children's books, such as THE BFG; MATILDA; and, of course, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, upon which the movies WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY were based.  However. . .Dahl's earlier career as a writer featured a vast array of very ADULT short stories, many of which being quite disturbing.  Thankfully, many of these early ROALD DAHL short stories are once again seeing print, as evidenced by the ten stories gathered together in MADNESS, which dares to ask the question, "Is one person's madness only another person's reality?"
