Like his children’s books, Roald Dahl’s adult stories never
fail to surprise, though they take more chilling flights of fancy. Darkly
humorous and playfully macabre, each standalone episode in this acclaimed series
is a brilliantly acted little gem of creepy delight. Episode casts feature a
cavalcade of stars, including John Alderton, Joan Collins, Joseph Cotten, José
Ferrer, Michael Gambon, Susan George, John Gielgud, Julie Harris, Derek Jacobi,
John Mills, and Elaine Stritch. With introductions by Roald Dahl.
