90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

No author perfected the twist in the tale better than Roald Dahl. His stories—many of which were filmed as Tales of the Unexpected—take us into a world that is shocking, cruelly funny, and always has a sinister edge.

What if plants could feel pain? What kind of father would bet his daughter in a wager? And what is the secret behind that delicious lamb dinner?

About the Author

Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
