    Book SynopsisDuring the Second World War Roald Dahl served in the RAF and suffered horrific injuries in an air crash in the Libyan desert. Drawing on his own experience as a fighter pilot, Dahl crafted these ten spine-tingling stories: of air battles in the sky; of the nightmare of being shot down; of the infectious madness of conflict; and of the nervy jollity of the Mess and Ops room. Dahl brilliantly conveys the bizarre reality of a wartime pilot''s daily existence, where death is a constant companion and life is lived from one heartbeat to the next.

    Book SynopsisA brand new picture book inspired by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin BlakeIt''s rotten when you''re very small,You hardly get a say at all.It''s No! and Quiet! and That''s enough!By golly, life - it can be tough . . .Inspired by the work of the world''s number 1 storyteller, this picture book is a guide to growing up the Roald Dahl way, with gloriumptious illustrations by Quentin Blake. A celebration of all the tremendous things children have in store - from adventure to inventions, chocolate cakes to rhino poo - along with a reminder that the very best grown ups are those who hold on tight to the chiddler inside.Trade ReviewCleverly captures Dahl's magic and mayhem, with exuberant illustrations by Quentin Blake.—The TelegraphInsisting from the first page that this is NOT a book for children 'who are as good as gold', Blake's drawings hilariously portray kids who eat too many sweets 'then throw them back up again' or 'fill their underpants with bees' while grim, grey-coloured adults tell them off. But the message is also for grown-ups to 'Be outrageous! Break the mould!' Because all the best things in life have been experienced or invented by people who are curious, mischievous and disobedient. Riotous fun.—Daily MailDrawn from the prankish humour and ethos of Roald Dahl, it begs to be shared with adult and child, and is a timely and timeless reminder of the kind of childhood we might want to create for our children. Underlying messy adventures too is the desire for children to grow up to be inventive, creative, caring about nature and thinking outside the box. Even if 'being bold is never breezy'. This is a fabulously fun and special book.—Coventry Telegraph

    Book SynopsisThe Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl in the first of two unsettling and sinister volumes.''They are brutal, these stories, and yet you finish reading each one with a smile, or maybe even a hollow laugh, certainly a shiver of gratification, because the conclusion always seems so right'' Charlie Higson, from his introduction.Roald Dahl is one of the most popular writers of the modern age, effortlessly writing for children and adults alike. In this, the first of two volumes chronologically collecting all his published adult short stories, we see how Dahl began by using his experiences in the war to write fiction but quickly turned to his powerful and dark imagination to pen some of the most unsettling and disquieting tales ever written.In 27 stories, written between 1944 and 1953, we encounter such classic tales as ''Man from the South'', featuring a wager with appalling consequences; ''Lamb to the Slaughter'', in which a wife murders her

    Book SynopsisBoggis, Bunce and Bean are the meanest three farmers you could meet. They hate Mr Fox and plan to shoot, starve or dig him out of his hole. But Mr Fox is much cleverer than they are and he has a cunning plan of his own. A Welsh adaptation of Fantastic Mr Fox.Trade ReviewRoedd Mr Cadno'n gadno campus iawn. Roedd ganddo wraig gampus, plant campus a ffrindiau campus. Ond roedd yna dri ffermwr cas a chreulon yn byw ar ei bwys. Eu henwau oedd Boggis, Bunce a Bean. Roedd y tri'n gofalu am bethau gwahanol fel ieir, hwyaid, gwyddau ac ychydig o seidr. Mae'r stori'n eitha cyffrous ac mae yna ddigon o bethau'n digwydd ynddi. Mae Mr Cadno'n gampus iawn am ddwyn eu hanifeiliaid ond dydy Boggis, Bunce a Bean ddim yn hapus iawn o gwbl. Yna mae'r ffermwyr yn cael cynllun i balu twll yn yr union fan lle roedd Mr Cadno'n byw. Roedden nhw'n gobeithio y byddent yn ei lwgu ond mae Mr Cadno'n cael cynllun campus arall. Rwy'n meddwl bod hon yn stori dda iawn ac mi fydd llawer o blant eraill yn ei hoffi hefyd. Er mwyn cael gwybod yn iawn beth sy'n digwydd yn y stori, mi fyddwch angen y llyfr campus hwn gan Roald Dahl. -- Ifan Llywelyn @ www.gwales.com
