Best known for his children's fantasy novels (CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH), Roald Dahl earlier was a respected short story writer. His tales tend to be either suspense or fantasy. This was his first collection, with such classics as "Lamb to the Slaughter", "Man From the South" and "Nunc Dimittis". This is a very nice copy, with just slight edge wear. I have slightly lowered its condition grade due to the presence of store and price stamps at the front. Otherwise, scarce in this condition.
