These five short stories offer a selection of Dahl's adult writing. <i>Parson's Pleasure</i> is a country tale, <i>A Piece of Cake</i>, a wartime reminiscence, <i>Lamb to the Slaughter</i> a story of vengeful murder, and the remaining two, <i>The Bookseller</i> and <i>The Butler</i>, are on favorite themes of greed and snobbery.
