New design for two favourite unabridged stories from the grand master of storytelling.
Read by Roald Dahl, himself.
The Enormous Crocodile
The Enormous Crocodile boasts that he is going to eat a child for lunch and sets out to trick all the children in his attempts for food. But the animals in the jungle are wise to all his plots and disguises and, led by Trunky the elephant, they set out to foil his terrible plans.
The Magic Finger
Watch out for the little girl in this story! When someone makes her angry, and when she can't stop herself, she flashes a punishment on them with a magic flashing finger.
This book was published 2002 by HarperCollins Publishers .
Roald Dahl was born in Wales of Norwegian parents the child of a second marriage. His father and elder sister died when Roald was just three. His mother was left to raise two stepchildren and her own four children. Roald was her only son. He had an unhappy time at school and this influenced his writing greatly. He once said that what distinguished him from most other childrens writers was this business of remembering what it was like to be young. Many of his books have been turned into films - Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG, The Witches, James and The Giant Peach, Esia Trot, Fantastic Mr Fox. Roalds childhood and schooldays are the subject of his autobiography Boy. https://www. roalddahl. com/
