    As a lifetime fan of Dahl's work, I was surprised that I had never come across this book befor. It was very enjoyable. A collection of some great short fiction stories and I was also surprised and pleased to read the story of how Dahl began his writing career and to read the first story he ever had published.

If you could see with your eyes closed, how would you use your power? That’s what Henry has to decide in "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,"one of the seven stories in this extra-ordinary collection. In addition to imaginative and magical tales, this book also contains the true story of how Roald Dahl became a writer, as well as a copy of the very first nonfiction story he wrote for The Saturday Evening Post. Packed with wit and adventure, the collection is a clever mix of fantasy and reality — and a stunning showcase of Dahl’s prose.
