Frustration And My Opinions by Miss Dreamer

Gosh, I do love Roald Dahl - I read most of his books when I was a kid. We had to read The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More in primary school, when I was 9, and do various pieces of creative writing based on it. For that reason, I didn't like it so much - plus, I was a sensitive soul, and found the one about the railway track quite disturbing! Have you read Tales of the Unexpected? I read that one as a teenager and loved it! The stories have clever twists at the end.

Ooooh! I've never heard of Tales of the Unexpected before! Is it by Roald Dahl? i thought I had all of the books written by him. ^^"

Oh, and the part about the railway track, were you talking about "The Swan"? It was a good story but I think those bullies are downright cruel and crazy. >.> I hope they get arrested some day.

Yes, it's a collection of short stories by Roald Dahl.

And yes, 'The Swan' - the bit where they tie him to the railway track is horrible!

Well, I've asked my father about Tales of the Unexpected and apparently, he doesn't know anything about it. -3- Also, I've never even seen the book in Singapore before. Is it possible that some books that Roald Dahl has written didn't manage to get imported to Singapore or something?

Ah I'm a big fan of his also, I read most of his books when I was younger. =) I suppose that's possible. Are there any large stores there that have websites where you could do a search to see if they have it? I don't mean to buy it off then, but just to see if anyone has it for sale and you just hadn't noticed it or whatever.

The only popular book store I know is Popular (lol). I don't know any other book stores a lot. Maybe Harris, or something, I have no idea. à² _à² I could try Googling, I guess? I don't know. :x

Well, the stories in the collection were all originally published elsewhere, so you could have read them. Here's the Wikipedia article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_Unexpected_(book). The story titles are all listed there, and you can click on most of them to get the plots, so you can see if you recognise them or not.
