The Vicar Of Nibbleswicke was written by Roald Dahl in the last months of his life. In a typical act of generosity he donated the story (and Quentin Blake's illustrations) for the benefit of the Dyslexia Institute. Reverend Lee is so worried about being in charge of his own parish for the first time that his childhood dyslexia comes back, in the form of a strange speech defect. He doesn't realize he's doing it, but key words come out of his mouth backwards. The parishioners are amused and later shocked at the garbled messages from the pulpit until finally a cure is found: the Vicar of Nibbleswicke must walk backwards for the rest of his life.

Siete cuentos que representan a la perfección el singular mundo literario de Roald Dahl.Siete cuentos que representan a la perfección el singular mundo literario de Roald Dahl.Los millonarios, ya se sabe, se aburren mucho, especialmente si han heredado su fortuna y jamas han dado golpe. Este era el caso de Henry Sugar, cuyo maximo entretenimiento consistia en ver como subian y bajaban los valores en la Bolsa. Un tipo la mar de corriente, si no fuera porque un dia, apartado de una partida de canasta por falta de pareja, acabo adquiriendo un extraordinario don: ver con los ojos cerrados.Los demas personajes de este nuevo libro de Roal Dahl tienen tambien una rareza u otra que les distingue de sus semejantes. Como ese tipo estrafalario y pedante que hace auto-stop y acaba demostrando a su compañero de viaje que es el verdadero rey de un oficio sin par. O como ese chico, veraneante en una isla del Caribe, que es capaza de comunicarse con los animales. Claro que a veces lo extraordinario tambien puedo ser mas bien terrorifico, tal como ocurre con los dos jovenzuelos sin escrupulos que salen a pasear un sabado por la mañana armados de un rifle del 22. Nada es lo que aparenta ser, nada puede ser lo que parece ser, pero cuando lo cuenta Roald Dahl, todo acaba siendo posible.Porque lo mas extraordinario de estasHistorias extraordinarias es la destreza narrativa de su autor, su desbordante y malicioso ingenio, su inagotable capacidad de sorpresa, que llevo a Alfred Hitchcock a adaptar para sus series de television algunos de sus relatos. Maestro del genero macabro y del humoristico, Dahl nos ofrece en este libro una propina inesperada: la divertida historia de como acabo convirtiendose en escritor.

El indiscutible talento de uno de los escritores más ágiles y chispeantes, un clásico de la literatura juvenil cada vez más apreciado por los adultos, aparece reflejado en estas trece sorprendentes historias Con gran agudeza y sarcasmo, entreverando lo comico y lo grotesco, el autor habla de la guerra, la privacion de la libertad, la politica o la violencia, asuntos habitualmente soslayados en los libros dirigidos a jovenes... En este, el humor, la ironia y la imaginacion se mezclan sabiamente para crear situaciones y personajes inolvidables
