Publisher's summary

The unabridged, digital audiobook edition of "The Way Up to Heaven", a brilliant gem of a short story from Roald Dahl, the master of the sting in the tail, read by the actress Stephanie Beacham.

In "The Way Up to Heaven", Roald Dahl, one of the world’s favourite authors, tells a sinister story about the darker side of human nature. Here, a woman obsessed with punctuality makes a fateful decision....

"The Way Up to Heaven" is taken from the short story collection Kiss Kiss, which includes 10 other devious and shocking stories, featuring the wife who pawns the mink coat from her lover with unexpected results; the priceless piece of furniture that is the subject of a deceitful bargain; a wronged woman taking revenge on her dead husband, and others. This story is also available as a Penguin ebook.

Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie 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 Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl’s continue to make listeners shiver today.

Stephanie Beacham’s television work includes: Trollied, Mount Pleasant, Coronation Street, Sister Kate, Beverley Hills 90210, Bad Girls, The Colbys, Dynasty, and Tenko. Her film work includes Love and Other Disasters, Unconditional Love, The Nightcomers, and The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.
