Book description
Bitch is a short, sharp, saucy story from Roald Dahl, the
master of the shocking tale.
In Bitch, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors,
tells a funny, fruity story about one of his favourite characters,
adventurer and seducer Oswald Hendryks Cornelius. Here, Uncle Oswald
gets involved with an aphrodisiac that drives men wild with passion .
. .
Bitch is taken from the short story collection Switch
Bitch, which includes three other black comedies which capture the
ins and outs, highs and lows of sex (including another Uncle Oswald
story, The Visitor).
'One of the most widely read and influential writers of our
generation.' (The Times )
This story is also available as a Penguin digital audio download
read by Derek Jacobi and Richard E. Grant.
Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant
Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also
wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully
disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the
inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by
Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children's writers, was born in Wales
of Norwegian parents. His books continue to be bestsellers, despite his
death in 1990, and total UK sales are 55 million worldwide! Quentin
Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved children's illustrators
and it's impossible now to think of Roald Dahl's writings without
imagining Quentin Blake's illustrations.
