About the book
Published in 1977, this collection by British author Roald Dahl gathers seven stories that are generally seen as suited to somewhat older readers than much of his work for children. The pieces were written at different points across his life. Two are autobiographical: one tells how he came to be a writer, and the other draws on his wartime service flying fighter planes. Another is a factual account of a British farmer who uncovers a famous hoard of ancient Roman treasure. The title story gives the book its name.
