Delicious,
This review is from: Umbrella Man And Other Stories (Mass Market Paperback)
I read these stories all in one night, they are superb. They are appropriate as far as content for teen readers (no explicit sex etc.) but they are written for adults and I think it would take an adult perspective to fully appreciate them.

Umbrella Man,
By A Customer
This review is from: Umbrella Man And Other Stories (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a huge Roald Dahl fan, so naturally I am a bit biased. I love this compilation of short stories, and I constantly reread my favorites, which include Mrs. Bixby and the Colonel's Coat, The Butler, Man from the South, The Landlady, The Umbrella Man, The Way Up to Heaven, Royal Jelly, Taste, and Neck. If you like Roald Dahl's stories as much as I do, I recommend Dahl's Omnibus, which compiles most, if not all of his short works.

Rain Rain Go Away,
By A Customer
This review is from: Umbrella Man And Other Stories (Mass Market Paperback)
Thirteen tales of horror and hilarity from master storyteller: Roald Dahl. How much will you pay for revenge? Would you stake a bet on your little finger or on your only daughter's hand in marriage? Each of the thirteen stories collected here will grab your attention and keep you riveted till the very last words. By turns shocking,ironic,humorous and touching, these tales are filled with bizarre twists and unexpected delights. This collection proves Roald Dahl's standing as one of the world's finest storytellers. My favourites in this book are The Umbralla Man, Mrs Bixby and the Colonel's Coat,Parson's Pleasure and Taste.
