Someone Like You - Roald Dahl I didn't even know Roald Dahl wrote children books until I was in my twenties. My first introduction to this author was the TV scripts from the Alfred Hitchcock Show of the 50s and 60s, noticeably "Lamb to The Slaughter" in which a betrayed housewife kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb, and "Man From The South" where a man bets his fortune for another man's little finger. I didn't know these clever stories came from Mr. Dahl until I found them in these nifty little collection. Dahl wrote these compact moral tales with a cynical spirit far from the children tales he is better known for. His stories usually contain a twist at the end which surprises but remains logical. They are also a bit disturbing. Other good stories include "A Dip in The Pool", "Skin" and the oh so British boys school tale, "Galloping Foxy".
