Versi perversi

I'm not going to review this, I'm simply going to point out to many of the previous reviewers that the word "slut" is defined as "a dirty, untidy, or slovenly woman". It is only in the past 20 years, or so, that the word has commonly become associated with sexual morality (or the lack thereof). Espe Leggi tutto

I really enjoyed this book full of short stories! All the short stories were remakes of fairy tales. They were all gruesome and some of them even intertwined. I highly suggest this book for anyone that likes fairy tales and/or anyone that likes Roald Dahl. I really feel this was one of his best work Leggi tutto

Revolting Rhymes (Paperback) by Roald Dahl is a book I read to my kids and then to my grandkids. This book has given everyone giggles in our house from the very young to the very old. It is the kind of book that never grows old itself. It is a keeper. I still have it from many years ago. I can not c Leggi tutto

This was another major laugh riot from Dahl. I kept cracking up when I was reading this at work.

The best poems in this collection are true masterpieces of satire. Here's the start of Cinderella: "I guess you think you know this story. You don't. The real one's much more gory.

Another of my favourite Dahl books Fairy tales with a gruesome twist. Like poetry that flies off the page. Spent many a day reading this book with delight and laughter. Have introduced it to my cousin who is now old enough to appreciate the exciting tales as the Characters jump off the page. Highly re Leggi tutto

Mas ela guinchava, ela insistia, De ser princesa não desistia. “Ordeno que lhe cortem a cabeça!” Leggi tutto

Dahl's modernise (and darker!) take on some of the most beloved fairytales is still just as fun and twisted all these years later. I also watched the 2 part animation which is just as great. My favourite of the six tales was Snow White now living with 7 jockeys - though all were brilliantly altered to Leggi tutto

Although I am not usually a huge fan of so-called fractured “traditional” folk and fairy tales (as I do rather often tend to think that the respective authors of these types of stories would generally and basically do better and be much more imaginative creating their own and totally, completely ori Leggi tutto

A short compendium of fifteen tales told by one of the great children's storytellers of all time. Dahl uses his wonderful rhyming ability to re-tell some of the better known fairy tales to 'set the record straight'. Children can marvel at all the things they will learn from Dahl and his mind that sp Leggi tutto
