À propos de cet audio
Seven superb stories, from the world's no. one storyteller.
Meet the boy who can talk to animals and the man who can see with his eyes closed. And find out about the treasure buried deep underground. A cleaver mix of fact and fiction, this collection also includes how master storyteller Roald Dahl became a writer. With Roald Dahl, you can never be sure where reality ends and fantasy begins.
©1977 Roald Dahl (P)2013 Penguin AudioCe que les critiques en disent
"Few modern writers have attracted such an appreciative audience among adults and children as Dahl.... All the tales are entrancing inventions." (Publishers Weekly)
“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian...[His] stories work better in audio than in print.” (The New York Times)

Great medley of stories for Roald Dahl fans
This collection is a bit of a hodgepodge. It includes a story that is mostly for kids (about a boy and a turtle) that reads like an episode of the Twilight Zone, but the rest is mostly for adults. In fact, if you like Roald Dahl short stories for grow-ups, this is the only collection currently available on audible. It also includes a short story based on Dahl's experience of being a fighter pilot in the second World War, and an autobiographical account ("Lucky Break") about how Dahl (met President Roosevelt and writer E.M.Forster and) became a writer. The biographical material is reminiscent of his books "Boy" and "Going Solo". The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar occupies a disproportionate space in this collection: it is more a novella than a short story. It is bizarre, intriguing, unbelievable, and includes a clunky "mise en abime" (a story within a story... within a story), but it all somehow comes together and leaves a lasting impression.
Narration: Andrew "Moriarty" Scott is excellent: good pace; emotional contrasts, silly accents and fun characterizations. His performance of the pickpocket in "The Hitchhiker" is particularly funny.
I wish all the stories in this collection were like "The Hitchhiker", which brings me to ask: please Audible, produce some of Dahl's collections of short stories for adults (such as "Kiss Kiss" and "Over to You")!
