Superb stories, daring deeds, fantastic adventures!

Critic reviews

“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian...[His] stories work better in audio than in print.” (The New York Times)

Such a delightfully told tale. It amuses from the very beginning of his journey to Africa to the end of his flying with the RAF. A very enjoyable read.

Some people live interesting lives. Some people are born storytellers who can make any event sound riveting. Roald Dahl is both. These stories of his WW II adventures are gripping, emotional, and over far too soon. Dan Stevens' narration further brings them to life so well that I often forgot that I wasn't actually listening to the author's own voice.

What a ride!
