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 his treasure, 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: the so-called clever scams are just illusions waiting to be exposed!
Among them, "Lamb to the Slaughter" ranked first in the personal book list of the best-selling "Island Bookstore" owner A. J. Fikri, 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.
