  <default_description>If you could see with your eyes closed, how would you use your power? That&amp;#8217;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 &amp;#8212; and a stunning showcase of Dahl&amp;#8217;s prose.</default_description>
