Writers and their websites: Road Dahl

Some writers have such well-designed web sites that it would be a pity not to publicise them as much as possible. This is the case of Road Dahl. His website is full of treats. For example, there you can listen to the man himself talking about his craft. Definitely worth a visit.

Also, you can read one of his stories "Beware of the Dog" here.

Roald Dahl and the fairy tales

You have probably heard of Roald Dahl´s Revolting Rhymes. They are an updated - and a tiny bit twisted - version of traditional fairy tales. I know, I know... the blog is about short stories, but I wanted to share with you this recording of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf with the man himself reading the poem. Wonderful!
