Dahl went on to become one of the world's best-selling and best-loved authors, celebrated for children's classics including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox and The Witches, as well as a body of darker, wickedly clever short fiction for adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you only know Dahl's children's books, this set reveals a sharper, stranger side of his imagination.
