Biting, witty, and characteristically surprising, these stories explore the intoxicating nature of power and the intricate, often dark dynamics of human behavior. Moving away from the whimsical worlds of his beloved children's classics, Dahl returns to his roots as a sophisticated author of adult short fiction, delivering sharp, provocative observations with his signature clarity and verve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53783747232083,"sku":"4083-RM-F-VG-2","price":27.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260609_150229.jpg?v=1781018333","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/two-fables-roald-dahl-1st-edition-printing-copy","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
