Kiss Kiss by Roald Dahl

Kiss, kiss

Roald Dahl

How could one sum up Roald Dahl's book Kiss Kiss using just a couple of words, maybe macabre and brilliant would fit the bill quite  perfectly, what do you think?

In each story there's a quiet zaniness that runs through them, all are crisp, surprising and smoothly written at every turn.  There's a common theme in most of these stories, one of the baddies getting their comeuppance in the end using great literary and psychological foreplay at the same time.

Which of his stories will leave the most lasting memories?

Perhaps William and Mary, this is one of perversity being turned on its head.   Mrs Bixby and the Colonel's Coat was enjoyed by all, poor old Mrs Bixby, should we feel sorry for her, or not?

On another note, we didn't get the peanuts, however we  did welcome two new members, Shirley and Gilberte to our group which was wonderful, thank you for joining us!
