Book description
Madame Rosette is a short, gripping story of life in wartime
from Roald Dahl, the master of the shocking tale.
In Madame Rosette, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite
authors, tells of three fighter pilots who go in search of female
company and get more than they bargained for - a lot more.
Madame Rosette is taken from the short story collection
Over to You, which includes nine other dramatic and
terrifying tales of life as a wartime fighter pilot, and is drawn from
Dahl's own experiences during the Second World War.
This story is also available as a Penguin digital audio download
read by Julian Rhind-Tutt.
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.
