by Roald Dahl
First published 2019
In the fantastical worlds of Roald Dahl, the line between human and monster blurs. From a ravenous giant to a child-munching crocodile, Dahl's beastly brutes terrorize the page. But his young protagonists, the "human beans," prove more resilient than they seem. With courage, cleverness, and a dash of mischief, they vanquish even the most nightmarish foes. In these twisted tales, Dahl reminds us that true heroism lies not in physical strength, but in the indomitable spirit.
