Dahl has some popular books to his credit but, this was not a good first time experience for me. I would probably purchase "The Best of Roald Dahl", "Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories", and a couple others but, this book was kind of a disappointment. One story that I did like was "The Swan", although I would have liked to know the author's name.
