Roald Dahl

Humorous retellings of Cinderella, Snow White and the seven dwarfs, Jack and the beanstalk, Goldilocks and the three bears, Little Red Riding Hood, and The three little pigs.

Humorous retellings in verse of six well-known fairy tales featuring surprise endings in place of the traditional happily-ever-after.

The witches: A young boy and his Norwegian grandmother, who is an expert on witches, together foil a witches' plot to destroy the world's children by turning them into mice. Revolting rhymes & dirty beasts: Did you think Cinderella married the prince and lived happily ever after, or that the three little pigs outsmarted the wolf? Think again! Dahl's animals are nothing short of ridiculous. A clever pig with an unmentionable plan to save his own bacon...
