The Umbrella Man by Roald Dahl

Here, in quick, memorable doses.

That witty, clever (and just a little crooked) Dahl will get you with at least at least one of these stories. He can turn any story on its head, tickle its feet and leave you gasping.

And these sharp short stories will revisit you— you’ll find yourself recounting, re-reading… to yourself, to the wind, to strangers in the park… and maybe, if they’re really lucky, to your friends.

Some of the stories in this collection you may recall having heard before, and the others, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without.

I’d say those of you ages 12+ can handle it…and those of you under 12, may dare to venture there…
