Editat de Roald Dahlen Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2012
'Spookiness is the real purpose of the ghost story. It should give you the creeps and disturb your thoughts . . .'
Who better to choose the ultimate in spine-chillers than Roald Dahl, whose own sinister stories have teased and twisted the imagination of millions?
Here are fourteen of his favourite ghost stories, including Sheridan Le Fanu'sThe Ghost of a Hand, Edith Wharton'sAfterward, Cynthia Asquith'sThe Corner Shopand Mary Treadgold'sThe Telephone.
Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author ofCharlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda,and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play,Roald Dahl's Twisted Talesby Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
