    <![CDATA[For the first time in a decade, Willy Wonka, the reclusive and eccentric chocolate maker, is opening his doors to the public--well, five members of the public to be exact. The lucky five who find a Golden Ticket in their Wonka chocolate bars will receive a private tour of the factory, given by Mr. Wonka himself. For young Charlie Bucket, this a dream come true. And, when he finds a dollar bill in the street, he can't help but buy two Wonka's Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delights--even though his impoverished family could certainly use the extra dollar for food. But as Charlie unwraps the second chocolate bar, he sees the glimmer of gold just under the wrapper! The very next day, Charlie, along with his unworthy fellow winners Mike Teavee, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, and Augustus Gloop, steps through the factory gates to discover whether or not the rumors surrounding the Chocolate Factory and its mysterious owner are true. What they find is that the gossip can't compare to the extraordinary truth, and for Charlie, life will never be the same again. <em>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</em>, another unforgettable masterpiece from the legendary Roald Dahl, never fails to delight, thrill, and utterly captivate. <em>(Ages 9 to 12)</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Matilda is a little girl who is far too good to be true. At age five-and-a-half she's knocking off double-digit multiplication problems and blitz-reading Dickens. Even more remarkably, her classmates love her even though she's a super-nerd and the teacher's pet. But everything is not perfect in Matilda's world. For starters she has two of the most idiotic, self-centered parents who ever lived. Then there's the large, busty nightmare of a school principal, Mrs. (&quot;The&quot;) Trunchbull, a former hammer-throwing champion who flings children at will and is approximately as sympathetic as a bulldozer. Fortunately for Matilda, she has the inner resources to deal with such annoyances: astonishing intelligence, saintly patience, and an innate predilection for revenge.<p> She warms up with some practical jokes aimed at her hapless parents, but the true test comes when she rallies in defense of her teacher, the sweet Miss Honey, against the diabolical Trunchbull. There is never any doubt that Matilda will carry the day. Even so, this wonderful story is far from predictable--the big surprise comes when Matilda discovers a new, mysterious facet of her mental dexterity. Roald Dahl, while keeping the plot moving imaginatively, also has an unerring ear for emotional truth. The reader cares about Matilda because in addition to all her other gifts, she has real feelings. <em>(Ages 9 to 12)</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[When poor James Henry Trotter loses his parents in a horrible rhinoceros accident, he is forced to live with his two wicked aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. After three years he becomes &quot;the saddest and loneliest boy you could find.&quot; Then one day, a wizened old man in a dark-green suit gives James a bag of magic crystals that promise to reverse his misery forever. When James accidentally spills the crystals on his aunts' withered peach tree, he sets the adventure in motion. From the old tree a single peach grows, and grows, and grows some more, until finally James climbs inside the giant fruit and rolls away from his despicable aunts to a whole new life. James befriends an assortment of hilarious characters, including Grasshopper, Earthworm, Miss Spider, and Centipede--each with his or her own song to sing. Roald Dahl's rich imagery and amusing characters ensure that parents will not tire of reading this classic aloud, which they will no doubt be called to do over and over again! With the addition of witty black and white pencil drawings by Lane Smith (of <em>The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales</em> and <em>The True Story of the Three Little Pigs</em> fame), upon which the animation for the Disney movie was based, this classic, now in paperback, is bursting with renewed vigor. We'll just come right out and say it: <em>James and the Giant Peach</em> is one of the finest children's books ever written. (Ages 9 to 12) ]]>

    <![CDATA[Evidently not even Roald Dahl could resist the acronym craze of the early eighties. BFG? Bellowing ferret-faced golfer? Backstabbing fairy godmother? Oh, oh ... Big Friendly Giant! This BFG doesn't seem all that F at first as he creeps down a London street, snatches little Sophie out of her bed, and bounds away with her to giant land. And he's not really all that B when compared with his evil, carnivorous brethren, who bully him for being such an oddball runt. After all, he eats only disgusting snozzcumbers, and while the other Gs are snacking on little boys and girls, he's blowing happy dreams in through their windows. What kind of way is that for a G to behave?<p> The BFG is one of Dahl's most lovable character creations. Whether galloping off with Sophie nestled into the soft skin of his ear to capture dreams as though they were exotic butterflies; speaking his delightful, jumbled, squib-fangled patois; or whizzpopping for the Queen, he leaves an indelible impression of bigheartedness. <em>(Ages 9 to 12)</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[This Roald Dahl classic tells the scary, funny and imaginative tale of a seven-year-old boy who has a run-in with some real-life witches! &quot;In fairy tales witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks and they ride on broomsticks.  But this is not a fairy tale. This is about REAL WITCHES. REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses and they work in ordinary jobs. That is why they are so hard to catch.&quot;  Witches, as our hero learns, hate children. With the help of a friend and his somewhat-magical grandmother, our hero tries to expose the witches before they dispose of him. Ages 7-12.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p><em>&quot;An autobiography is a book a person writes about his own life and it is usually full of all sorts of boring details.<p>This is not an autobiography. I would never write a history of myself. On the other hand, throughout my young days at school and just afterwards a number of things happened to me that I have never forgotten.&quot; -- Roald Dahl</p><p>As full of excitement and the unexpected as his world-famous, bestselling books, Roald Dahl's tales of his own childhood are completely fascinating and fiendishly funny. Did you know that Roald Dahl nearly lost his nose in a car accident? Have you heard about his involvement in the Great Mouse Plot of 1924? If not, you don't yet know all there is to know about Roald Dahl. Sure to captivate and delight you, the boyhood antics of this master storyteller are not to be missed!</p>Performed by Derek Jacobi</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In the tradition of <em>The Adventures of Peter Rabbit</em>, this is a &quot;garden tale&quot; of farmer versus vermin, or vice versa. The farmers in this case are a vaguely criminal team of three stooges: &quot;Boggis and Bunce and Bean / One fat, one short, one lean. / These horrible crooks / So different in looks / Were nonetheless equally mean.&quot; Whatever their prowess as poultry farmers, within these pages their sole objective is the extermination of our hero--the noble, the clever, the Fantastic Mr. Fox. Our loyalties are defined from the start; after all, how could you cheer for a man named Bunce who eats his doughnuts stuffed with mashed goose livers? As one might expect, the farmers in this story come out smelling like ... well, what farmers occasionally do smell like.<br/><br/>This early Roald Dahl adventure is great for reading aloud to three- to seven-year-olds, who will be delighted to hear that Mr. Fox keeps his family one step ahead of the obsessed farmers. When they try to dig him out, he digs faster; when they lay siege to his den, he tunnels to where the farmers least expect him--their own larders! In the end, Mr. Fox not only survives, but also helps the whole community of burrowing creatures live happily ever after. With his usual flourish, Dahl evokes a magical animal world that, as children, we always knew existed, had we only known where or how to look for it. <em>(Great read aloud for any age; written at a 9- to 12-year-old reading level)</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[If you could see with your eyes closed, how would you use your power? That’s what Henry has to decide in &quot;The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,&quot;one of the seven stories in this extra-ordinary collection. In addition to imaginative and magical tales, this book also contains the true story of how Roald Dahl became a writer, as well as a copy of the very first nonfiction story he wrote for The Saturday Evening Post. Packed with wit and adventure, the collection is a clever mix of fantasy and reality — and a stunning showcase of Dahl’s prose. ]]>

    <![CDATA[With his &quot;secret plans and clever tricks,&quot; the Enormous Crocodile  desires to lunch not with but <em>on</em> a nice, juicy child. His croc companion,  the Notsobig One, is the first to try to talk him out of his scheme, claiming  children are no good to eat. &quot;'<em>Tough</em> and <em>chewy!</em>' cried the  Enormous Crocodile. '<em>Nasty</em> and <em>bitter!</em> What awful tommyrot you  talk! They are juicy and yummy!'&quot; One jungle critter after another--from Trunky  the elephant to Muggle-Wump the monkey to the Roly-Poly Bird--tries to prevent  the Enormous Crocodile from carrying out his dastardly deed, but on he waddles  toward the village. Unfortunately for him, the animals have a few secret plans  and clever tricks up <em>their</em> furry sleeves, too!<p>  This new storybook format of a fabulous Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake classic is  destined to delight a whole new generation of young readers. The first  collaborative effort of this picture-perfect creative match, <em>The Enormous  Crocodile</em>'s uniquely Dahl-esque dialogue and laugh-out-loud illustrations  marked the beginning of a beautiful partnership. Some of their other creations  include <em>The Magic Finger</em>  and <em>The BFG</em>. Dahl is a  master at giving readers a delectably sweet taste of vengeance. (Ages 6 to 10)  <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[This collection brings together Dahl's finest work, illustrating his genius for the horrific and grotesque which is unparalleled. <br/><br/>&quot;Dahl has the mastery of plot and characters possessed by great writers of the past, along with a wildness and wryness of his own. One of his trademarks is writing beautifully about the ugly, even the horrible.&quot;--<em>Los Angeles Times</em><br/><br/>&quot;An ingenious imagination, a fascination with odd and ordinary detail, and a lust for its thorough exploitation are the...strengths of Dahl's storytelling.&quot;--<em>New York Times Book Review</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[The nameless narrator has revealed snippets of the lovable, lascivious Uncle Oswald's life in other collections, but this is the only novel--brief though it is--dedicated solely to the diaries of &quot;the greatest fornicator of all time.&quot; Inspired by stories of the aphrodisiac powers of the Sudanese blister beetle, the palpable seductiveness of the lovely Yasmin Howcomely, and the scientific know-how of Professor A. R. Woresley, Uncle Oswald  anticipates the concept of the Nobel sperm bank by some 40 years,  flimflamming crowned heads, great artists, and eccentric geniuses into making &quot;donations.&quot;  The life of a commercial sperm broker has a few surprises even for a sophisticated <em>bon vivant</em>, and Dahl manages his signature sting-in-the-tail ending even in one of his lightest comic works.]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;'This is going to be a bit of a shock to you, I'm afraid,' he said.&quot;  With those words, Patrick Maloney seals his fate. He has no idea that his mousy  wife, Mary, isn't about to take his abandonment of their marriage lightly. He  never sees the frozen leg of lamb that hits him squarely in the noggin. And  he'll never know how tidily Mary cleans up the evidence--by having the local  police dine on the murder weapon! The late Roald Dahl, best known for children's  novels such as <em>Charlie and the  Chocolate Factory</em>, also wrote many wonderfully wicked short stories,  like the aforementioned &quot;Lamb to the Slaughter,&quot; collected in <em>Skin</em>, a succinct,  darkly humorous anthology for teen readers. Besides the murderous Mary Maloney,  a host of other odd characters will leave teens gasping with surprise or  chuckling with guilty laughter. In &quot;The Surgeon,&quot; Dr. Robert Sandy is given a  priceless diamond in exchange for saving a life, promptly loses it, then  recovers it again from the strangest of places. &quot;An African Story&quot; chronicles a  lonely mountain hermit's bid for revenge that involves a deadly black mamba  snake, and &quot;The Sound Machine&quot; describes how a wacky inventor nearly drives  himself mad when he creates a contraption that allows him to pick up noises  outside the human range of hearing. There is something for the naughty side of  everyone in this <em>Twilight Zone</em>-ish compilation, a recommended read for  fans of Dahl's other teen short-story collection, <em>The Umbrella Man</em>. (Ages 12 and  older) <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Roald Dahl's classic children's novel  is now a motion picture from The Walt Disney Company, and this version of <strong>James and the Giant Peach</strong> grew out of the making of the movie.  Lane Smith, conceptual artist for the film,  has given James and company a new and arresting look, much in the style of  his many highly regarded books,  such as Math Curse and  The Stinky  Cheeseman. Karey Kirkpatrick,  the film's screenwriter, created a text that is true to the spirit of Dahl's original, and deftly pulls young readers into the remarkable story. All in all, it's a peach of a book sure to be the pick of every child's bookshelf!]]>

    <![CDATA[Before he was a world-renowned children's book writer, Roald Dahl was a master of short stories for adults. The thirteen tales collected here were specially selected for their appeal to teens, and they represent his finest work. By turns shocking, ironic, humorous, and touching, these stories are filled with bizarre twists and unexpected delights. This collection proves Roald Dahl's standing as one of the world's foremost storytellers.<br/><br/>&quot;A baker's dozen of barbed, witty, obliquely macabre short stories... This sampler of Dahl's writing conveys a sense of his versatility.&quot; --<em>Kirkus Reviews</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Roald Dahl's inimitable style and humor shine in this collection of poems about mischievous and mysterious animals. From Stingaling the scorpion to Crocky-Wock the crocodile, Dahl's animals are nothing short of ridiculous. A clever pig with an unmentionable plan to save his own bacon and an anteater with an unusually large appetite are among the characters created by Dahl in these timeless rhymes. This new, larger edition is perfect for reading aloud and makes Quentin Blake's celebrated illustrations even more enjoyable.  <br/><br/>  &quot;Will elicit a loud 'Yuck.'  In other words, children will love them.&quot; (<em>Children's Book Review Service</em>)]]>

    <![CDATA[Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was a prickly, colorful character who wrote maliciously funny short stories for adults (<em>The Best of Roald Dahl</em>) as well as better-known works for children (<em>James and the Giant Peach</em>). As he relates in the introduction, he started the research for this book by making a call to the celebrated ghost-story anthologist/writer, Lady Cynthia Asquith. He then went to the British Museum Library, and  read a total of 749 tales before selecting 14 for this anthology. His criterion: &quot;Spookiness is, after all, the real purpose of the ghost story. It should give you the creeps and disturb your thoughts.&quot; Included here are not only acknowledged classics by Robert Aickman, Edith Wharton, J. S. Le Fanu, and  F. Marion Crawford, but also tales by lesser-known writers such as L. P. Hartley, Rosemary Timperley, Jonas Lie, Mary Treadgold, and A. M. Burrage. The <em>Washington Post</em> writes, &quot;Dahl's taste, it will surprise no one, is impeccable.&quot; ]]>

    <![CDATA[Someday someone will write a book that begins with a mother forbidding her child to enter the deep dark woods and ends with that child achieving incredible success without ever setting a toe in the forbidden forest. But not this book. Here, Billy's mom issues a few scary warnings about the woods to her son--&quot;Beware! Beware! The Forest of Sin! None come out, but many go in!&quot;--turns her back for a second, and the next thing you know the devil shows up and whispers something to Bobby about wild strawberries. Blammo! Guess where Billy goes--straight to the forbidden forest, of course. At this point, if you are reading the story aloud to your child, you may think there's a parable on the way. But just when you might expect to run into monsters named Lust, Avarice, and Three-Toed Sloth (okay, maybe not Lust), a real monster comes careening along and you realize that this story is just a fairy tale after all--and quite a lovely one at that.<p> <em>The Minpins</em> taps into the powerful, wonderful child's fantasy of discovering a hidden civilization of tiny folk that accepts and honors him or her. The very best part of this fairy tale is the denouement, where Billy receives the gift of nightly escape on the wings of a swan. One of Roald Dahl's only picture books--with fabulously crosshatched pen-and-ink illustrations by Patrick Benson--<em>The Minpins</em> is superb for reading aloud to the three- to eight-year-old set. And it culminates in a sentence or two of advice that your children just might remember for the rest of their lives. <em>(Ages 3 to 8)</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Feeling hungry? How about some Snozzcumbers for a snack, or a Fresh Mudburger for dinner? Or perhaps you're in the mood for Stink Bugs' Eggs. Fans of Roald Dahl will recognize his peculiar culinary inventions from his many books--now, these dubious delights are collected all together in <em>Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes</em>, a compendium of dishes that <em>sound</em> worse than they really are. Stink Bug Eggs, for example, are really deviled eggs with some food coloring and a special, added ingredient (parmesan cheese or asafetida) to make them particularly aromatic. Mr. Twit's Beard Food consists of mashed potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms, and cocktail franks cunningly arranged. Each recipe is simple to make, many are delightfully disgusting to contemplate, but all are easy on the palate. Roald Dahl himself would have been delighted to eat these ravishingly revolting recipes.]]>

    <![CDATA[Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life is a collection of seven hilariously creepy Roald Dahl stories published in various magazines and collections in the '40s and '50s, and gathered here for the first time. With the classic Dahl mixture of charm and charmingly perverse, these stories remind us that the mystery of life isn't always as sweet as it seems.]]>

    <![CDATA[Buried one foot below the surface of a field called Thistley Green in  the English town of Mildenhall, a most fantastic Roman treasure lay for  centuries until a ploughman came along in the 1940s and accidentally dug it up.  What followed was the worst kind of tragedy, because it involves human greed and  abuse of a good man's innocence. Gordon Butcher, discoverer of this treasure,  was entitled by British law to the full amount of its market value. Butcher was  not aware of this law; however, another ploughman named Ford did know about it,  and managed to bamboozle Butcher out of the fortune.<p>  This remarkable story was written in 1946 by a young Roald Dahl, who went on to  write such beloved classics as <em>James and the Giant Peach</em> and  <em>Charlie and the Chocolate  Factory</em>. Dahl's inimitable style blazes through even in his early  career. The true story, republished with stunning art by Ralph Steadman, is as  riveting as if it had happened today, with heartbreaking notes of unbearable  unfairness and sincere naiveté. Each page, thickly covered with rich,  dark splashes of paint, sketchy faces, and bits of collage, has a wild and  ominous tenor, reflected in the ferocious weather that fateful day when the  hapless farmer found--and lost--the greatest treasure ever found in the British  Isles. (Ages 9 and older) <em>--Emilie Coulter</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF EXTRAORDINARY STORIES<br/><br/>Every one of them represents a dangerous excursion by its writer to the slippery edge that marks the murky abyss of the unpredictable unconscious.<br/><br/>For most of us, one look at those depths means a compulsive, shrieking plunge into horror. For the chosen, for the fantasy writer, every trip to the brink is an inspiration.<br/><br/>For it is here, on the tremulous border of relative light and unspeakable darkness, that the mundane, the maniacal and the miraculous meet and mingle to form the stuff of fantasy--the stuff of which this book is made!]]>

    <![CDATA[Published in 1943 and long unavailable, Dark Horse Books is proud to present this landmark book from the author of such beloved tales as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach and Matilda. Digitally restored, this remarkable presentation of Dahl's classic story, lavishly illustrated by the artists of the Walt Disney Studios, will delight readers of all ages!  The Gremlins is the story of Gus, a British World War II fighter pilot, who during the Battle of Britain turned to look out on the wing of his plane only to see an amazing sight: a little man, no more than six inches tall with horns growing from his head, drilling a hole in the plane's wing. Gus was the first man to ever see a Gremlin, and what happened after that would change the war, and the world, forever.   Bought by Walt Disney to be produced as an animated motion picture (and considered to be the first story featuring the mythical airplane sabotaging creatures known as Gremlins), the project was ultimately shelved and is reprinted here for the first time in over 60 years.]]>

    <![CDATA[Feeling hungry? How about some Snozzcumbers for a snack, or a Fresh  Mudburger for dinner? Or perhaps you're in the mood for Stink Bugs' Eggs. Fans of  Roald Dahl will recognize his peculiar culinary inventions from his many books--now  these dubious delights are collected together in <em>Roald Dahl's Revolting  Recipes</em>, a compendium of dishes that <em>sound</em> worse than they really are.  Stink Bug Eggs, for example, are really devilled eggs with some food colouring and a  special, added ingredient (parmesan cheese or asafetida) to make them particularly  aromatic. Mr Twit's Beard Food consists of mashed potatoes, hard-boiled eggs,  mushrooms and cocktail franks cunningly arranged. Each recipe is simple to make,  many are delightfully disgusting to contemplate, but all are easy on the palate. Roald  Dahl himself would have been delighted to eat these ravishingly revolting recipes. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Roald Dahl's irreverant Revolting Rhymes have an enduring appeal, and now for the first time, children can enjoy the fun of performing two of them as musicals. In Jack and the beanstalk, Jack and the friendly farm animals defy the Giant's phenomenal sniffing powers and Jack's mother's murderous way with a vacuum cleaner to come out triumphantly rich - and squeaky clean. The Dahl script, the instantly enjoyable new songs, and clever staging ideas are all wrapped up in one accessible and affordable pack - complete with a performance/backing tracks CD and excerpts from the orchestral adaptation by Georg Pelecis.]]>

    <![CDATA[ Nach dem Band <em>Gefährliche Possen</em>, in dem Peter Haining, ein alter Hase im Anthologiegeschäft, humoristische Fantasy-Kurzgeschichten von bekannten Autoren präsentierte, legt er hier eine zweite Auswahl vor. Und die ist tatsächlich genauso abwechslungsreich und interessant wie ihr Vorgänger.<p>  Den Anfang macht Terry Pratchett, der bekannte und beliebte Autor der <em>Scheibenwelt</em>-Romane, mit einer neuen und gelungenen Kurzgeschichte über die Figuren seiner Kultromane. Der Rest des Bandes enthält eine durchaus beeindruckende Zusammenstellung von Geschichten, die einen Zeitraum von über fünfzig Jahren umspannen.<p>  Haining stellt dabei einem neuen Publikum einige echte Klassiker vor, die heute noch genauso lesenswert sind wie zum Zeitpunkt ihres Erscheinens. Manche sind eher leise und nachdenklich im Tonfall, andere wiederum gruselig oder satirisch. Vertreten sind die großen Namen der Phantastik, von Michael Moorcock und Robert Bloch, dem Schöpfer von <em>Psycho</em>, über Mervyn Peake und Frederic Brown bis hin zu Piers Anthony. Aber es sind auch Autoren vertreten, die nicht so typisch für diese Literaturgattung sind, bekannte Schriftsteller wie P. G. Wodehouse oder Angela Carter, die man nicht unbedingt mit dem Begriff Fantasy in Verbindung bringt.<p>  Um die Thematik zu erweitern, hat der Herausgeber auch einige humoristische Science-fiction-Geschichten hinzugefügt -- ja, so etwas gibt es tatsächlich --, und präsentiert Erzählungen von Stanislaw Lem, Arthur C. Clarke und Kurt Vonnegut.<p>  Anthologien sind vielfach Geschmackssache, aber hier ist für jedes Interesse etwas da. Ein echtes Lesebuch, das zum Schmökern einlädt und ein gutes Beispiel für die Vielfalt der Phantastik ist. <em>--Andreas Decker</em></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[   マチルダは世にも不思議な天才少女。5歳半だというのに2ケタのかけ算は朝飯前、あのディケンズの小説も一気に読破してしまった。もっとすごいのは「超かしこい」ため先生に特別扱いされているにもかかわらず、同級生とも仲がいいことだ。 <p>   でもそんなマチルダにも嫌なことはあった。まず第一にテレビばかり見ていて子どもはほったらかしの両親。次にマッチョで凶暴な女校長ザ・トランチブルだ。この校長は元ハンマー投げのチャンピオン。気に入らない生徒は次々と投げ飛ばす人間ブルドーザーみたいな怪物なのだ。でも幸いマチルダには彼ら大人に立ち向かえる天賦の才能があった。驚くべき知性と聖人のような忍耐力、そして根っからの仕返し好きな性格である。 <p>   まず両親がつらくあたったら罰するという日々のゲームでウォームアップ。だが仕返しの本番は、大好きな担任のハニー先生をいじめる悪魔のようなトランチブルが相手だ。天才少女マチルダの勝利は目に見えている。それでもなお、このおはなしには次に何が起きるかまったくわからない魅力がある。マチルダが自分の「じつに奇妙な、えもいわれぬ感覚」に気づいたときに起きるどんでん返しとは…？ <p>   ロアルド・ダールは創意に富んだ筋運びで最後まで読者を飽きさせないが、その一方で子どもの無垢な気持ちに耳を傾けることも忘れていない。マチルダがみんなから好かれる本当の理由、それは数々の才能もさることながら、彼女が本当に思いやりのある少女だからなのだ。</p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Over the last century air travel has evolved from a high-risk experiment involving a few visionary pioneers to an efficient—and often irritating—means for distributing masses of people to the far reaches of the globe. During the hundred-year history of human air travel, it has yielded writing that is, by turns, heroic, dreamy, subversive, and utterly dire. This anthology traces this trajectory from the early letters and memoirs of Wilbur and Orville Wright, and Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, to the diaries of Amelia Earhart. Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s heroism gives way to the darkly magical storytelling of Roald Dahl, and the spare, elegiac prose of master stylist James Salter. More recent stories by Erica Jong, Mary Gaitskill, Thomas Beller, Mike Albo, Maxine Swann, and David Sedaris examine an array of contemporary subjects, from the addictiveness of mile-high sex, to etiquette for cramped seating and accounts of racial profiling post–9/11. <em>Flight Patterns</em> promises an entertaining refuge for frequent fliers, and a gateway to dreams for nighttime readers. These writings exude the primal fear and cool perspective that can only come from seeing the world—and one’s own life—from a great distance. <em>Flight Patterns</em> renders airplane travel a time capsule of modern life.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;My father, without the slightest doubt, was the most marvelous and exciting father any boy ever had.&quot; Danny feels very lucky. He adores his life with his father, living in a gypsy caravan, listening to his stories, tending their gas station, puttering around the workshop, and occasionally taking off to fly home-built gas balloons and kites. His father has raised him on his own, ever since Danny's mother died when he was four months old. Life is peaceful and wonderful... until he turns 9 and discovers his father's one vice. Soon Danny finds himself the mastermind behind the most incredible plot ever attempted against nasty Victor Hazell, a wealthy landowner with a bad attitude. Can they pull it off? If so, Danny will truly be the champion of the world. <em>Danny</em> is right up to Roald Dahl's impishly brilliant standards. An intense and beautiful father-son relationship is balanced with sublegal high jinks that will have even the most rigid law-abider rooting them on. Dahl's inimitable way with words leaves the reader simultaneously satisfied and itching for more. (Ages 9 to 13)  <em>--Emilie Coulter</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[This book offers an insight into the life of Roald Dahl. It is a mixture of written anecdotes covering Roald Dahl's upbringing, his youth and early days in Africa and his later life at home with his wife Liccy and their numerous children, grandchildren and friends. For this extensive family, there is no more enjoyable way of relaxing than to share good food and wine. The meals they enjoy together round the old pine farmhouse table at Gipsy House are either fine examples of national dishes of their multicolour heritage (Norway, France, Britain), or favourite recipes that have delighted three generations of discerning diners. Many recipes have acquired a particular significance for the Dahl family over the years and these are introduced with reminiscences rich in nostalgia and humour. The text by Roald and Liccy Dahl, their children, close family and friends, is interspersed with personal photographs and the sketches of Quentin Blake. The recipes included here are for all occasions, covering family birthday parties, Christmas and Easter celebrations - and demonstrating Roald's passions for chocolate, onions and wine.  A final chapter offers recipes for Hangman's Suppers, with contributions from Francis Bacon, P.D.James, John le Carre and Peter Ustinov among others.]]>
