I really enjoyed this - particularly as I usually believe Dahl's work is overrated. it was great to read some skilfully crafted short stories which covered a range of themes and genres. I think I most enjoyed "Henry Sugar" and the final story, which was about Dahl becoming a writer after his WWII experiences. There is a fabulous "fever dream" sequence. I especially enjoyed Andrew Scott's narration.

I wouldn't really characterize this as necessarily for children just because it's Dahl!
