Roald Dahl IS an absolute delight. Woke up earlier than I'd wanted this morning and finished "Mandala" by Pearl Buck and grabbed your gift. Only had time to read the first story and get part way into "Parson's Pleasure" -- cut short by having to get my body together and head to work.

The Press Room session will be cut short tonight because of Jazzmouth, so I'll be able to get home a little earlier and read a bit longer.

Thanks again! I think short stories are often much better crafted than novels.
