Recenzii
The
absolute
master
of
the
twist-in-the-tale
Roald Dahl is one of the few writers I know whose world can accurately be described as addictive. Through his tales runs a vein of macabre malevolence, the more effective because it springs from slight, almost inconsequential everyday things. The result is a black humour of the most sophisticated kind
Fantastic as Grimm, heartless as Saki
