The Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl in the second of two unsettling and sinister volumes. "Dahl finds the child in the adult and the adult in the child and, with a little smile, he sticks the knife in both". (Anthony Horowitz, from his introduction). Roald Dahl is one of the world's most popular writers, equally at home writing for both children and adults.

Here, in 'Parson's Pleasure', a piece of furniture is the subject of a deceitful bargain; in 'William and Mary', a wife revenges herself on he

What's more, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad fo
