Roald Dahl's hilarious and outrageous novels have made him one of the most popular children's authors of all time. Here, the author himself brings five of his wickedly funny stories to life:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last!
James and the Giant Peach: A little magic can take you a long way.
Fantastic Mr. Fox: Nobody outfoxes Fantastic Mr. Fox!
The Enormous Crocodile: Watch out, kids!
The Magic Finger: What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted?
Roald Dahl's collection of stories for younger children includes classics like CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY and JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH. There are also lesser-known tales like FANTASTIC MR. FOX, in which a loving papa fox outwits a farmer to feed his kits, and THE ENORMOUS CROCODILE, in which a greedy reptile hunts for a young child to eat. In each story the underdog characters triumph, and evil is punished in intriguing ways. For example, the girl in THE MAGIC FINGER shows hunters what it feels like to be hunted. The author reads all these magical tales in his elegant British tones, his pacing showing tenderness for his characters. The excellence of carefully chosen rhythms and rhymes resounds throughout.
