Lamb to the Slaughter

About This Novel
This is a collection of short stories about "deception". It is a fairy tale written for adults by the famous children's literature writer Roald Dahl. Here, you will meet: a priest who tries his best to defraud people of antiques, a farmer who tries every means to hide treasures, a couple who cheats in card games, a bookstore that does not make money by selling books, a musician who pretends to be Chopin, a company that specializes in revenge, a murder weapon swallowed by the police, a drunkard who steals umbrellas for money, a southern man who is keen on gambling... Ten fairy tales reveal the truth about all the "deceptions" in life at once: the so-called clever scams are just illusions waiting to be exposed! Among them, "Lamb to the Slaughter" topped the personal book list of A. J. Fikri, the owner of the best-selling "Island Bookstore", and "Southern Man" was included in "Hitchcock's Suspense Stories" and was later adapted into a part of the movie "Four Rooms" by Quentin Tarantino.
