The Great Automatic Grammatizator and Other Stories – paperback, fiction, pre-owned, 272 pages
$3.00
A pre-owned paperback fiction – “The Great Automatic Grammatizator and Other Stories” by author Roald Dahl
Synopsis
Is it really possible to invent a machine that does the job of a writer? What is it about a landlady’s house that makes it so hard for her guests to leave? Does Sir Basil Turton value most his wife or one of his priceless sculptures? Here are thirteen of Roald Dahl’s most unexpected tales, offering young readers the perfect introduction to the adult writing of a storytelling genius. From the sensitivity of stories such as ‘Katina’ to the surprising creepiness of ‘Taste’, these stories are full of all the fun, excitement and wonder of Roald Dahl’s writing, offering originality, ingenuity, horror, unexpected twists and turns, a touch of the macabre – and much more besides.
