Verhalenbundel met een luguber kantje die je geregeld doet grijnzen.

More of a 3.5 - some of these are awesome - Dahl’s ability to build that eerie tension taking you one way and then do something totally different is masterly. And then a few are just a bit messed up (and I usually don’t mind messed up) and just a bit sexist. Prioritise The Landlady (obviously), The Way up to Heaven, Mrs Brixby and the Colonel’s Coat. HM to Royal Jelly and Genesis and Catastrophe. Run away from Gorgy Porgy (yikes).

Roald Dahl hates MARRIAGE and CAPITALISM. He spends a lot of time cursing abusive husbands and making their daft-but-well-intentioned wives serve them their just desserts.
