Most of you may already be acquainted with this famous Welsh author; there is actually quite a few books by him in our library. He's written very many different things (novels, poetry, scripts for films...), but he's best known for his children's books, and short stories. Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, macabre, and often darkly comic mood. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.
During this uncertain period of home confinement, I suggest reading five of his best-known short stories: The Umbrella Man, The Landlady, Lamb to the Slaughter, The Hitchhiker, and The Way Up to Heaven. Here they are, on this free link below for you to download. We will be holding a class discussion once we're back to class. Hopefully soon!
Enjoy the read!
