		All of the stories are not extreme fantasy or science fiction and the constant story after story format may tend to wear on a reader that is not totally in love with these kinds of stories.
		The story of Kissin' Kate, and of a curse put on Stanley's great-great-grandfather by a one-legged Gypsy, weaves a narrative puzzle that tangles and untangles, until it becomes clear that the hand of fate has been at work in the lives of the characters - and their forebears - for generations.
		This story is also about the father who has to steal to get food for his family and about the rest of his family and how they live through tragedies.

		Feminists may be a bit offended; Dahl's antipathy for the female sex is rather evident throughout the stories.
		The stories range from the spooky to the sentimental (one story involves a group of British Air Force pilots "adopting" a girl during the war) and most involve brilliantly realized O. Henry-type endings.
		Dahl lays out his stories in a way to make you feel that you are reading a sort of twisted fairy tale, using surreal language and situations.

		Roald Dahl's parents were Norwegians that had emigrated to England around 1900.
		From here, Dahl flew missions every day for a period of four weeks, but then he began to get blinding headaches that gave him fl-outs in the air, and he was invalided home to Britain.
		Gremlins weren't quite Dahl's invention though: the name 'gremlin' was first coined somewhere around the 1920's: RAF insider jokes blamed gremlins for all the technical malfunctions in airplanes.

		There was this story about an old couple, and the man had a huge beard........don't remember exactly what it was called, but the story's pretty good.
		Ditto on the "too many good ones" of Dahl's to choose just one, although I'll add to the list Royal Jelly, William and Mary, and The Man from the South, which are great.
		The one that feautes a woman that receives a last present from her lover (a piece of fur that goes around the neck, I don´t know the name) and tries to keep it with her even in front of her husband with a caculated plan.
