Book description
Someone Like You is a short, gripping story of life in wartime
from Roald Dahl, the master of the shocking tale.
In Someone Like You, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite
authors, tells of two wartime pilots arguing over the fickle hand of
fate (and the airman) . . .
Someone Like You 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.
