Snippets of Roald

I loved reading Roald Dahl's books to our kids as they were growing up. They had just enough pathos, kookiness, and some pretty great morals along the way, all served up with his signature unique style. This book of short stories definitely has the kook angle, but also a hefty dose of darkness. He apparently had a gloomier (or even macabre?) side. The tales move along, and are very readable, but it's just a different version of him than I remember.
