Commentary Of Books The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More

I've always been mesmerised by Roald Dahl - but Henry Sugar holds a special place in my heart. A story I could read again and again.

Jumping back into Roald Dahl literature has been one of the best experiences in terms of reading this year.I never considered that I would enjoy short stories so much. Stories that you start and finish before going to bed. Such a refreshing feeling. As a lover of Roald Dahl's stories in childhood, his writing style is one of the most easy to read and grabs-you-by-the-writing-and-plot-and-never-lets-you-go. This was such a great read and overall, my rating was based on my enjoyment.Ratings for

If you could see with your eyes closed, how would you use your power? Thats what Henry has to decide in one of the seven stories in this extraordinary collection. "The Boy Who Talked With Animals" >> Is about a young tourist boy at a beach resort who seeks to free a giant sea turtle which has been captured by the hotel management. This sounds like a children's story, but the characterization and the setting are quite adult."The Hitchhiker" >> Is an amusing tale about a British

The title story, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, is really a treasure. A wonderful and inspiring story for both adults and children. I also quite enjoyed The Boy Who Talked with Animals and The Mildenhall Treasure, the latter which is based on a fascinating real-life story of buried treasure. In typical Dahl fashion, many of the stories have some dark elements, deaths, beatings, etc. The Swan in particular is quite dark and sadistic.

Re-reading one of my all time favorite books or more accurately short stories by Road Dahl. While the story of Henry Sugar is far less known than James and the Giant Peach or Charile and the Chocolate Factory ... as much as I loved those stories growing up, its Henry Sugar that stuck with me the most. And despite having first read this over 30+ years ago, enjoy it just as much as an adult. Highly recommended

The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar And Six More, Roald Dahl The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More, is a collection of seven short stories written by Roald Dahl.

A (somewhat) delightful variety of short stories. After reading Switch Bitch (also a short story collection by Dahl), I did not have much hope for this collection. If you have not read those stories, I could sum them up on three words: Pervy, Misogynistic and Disturbing. While this one was certainly better, this is definitely not one of my favorites.The Boy Who Talked to Animals - An enormous sea turtle becomes caught by fishermen - who themselves are caught between killing, eating and
