(4) YA Only a few of these stories selected from Dahl's adult anthologies may be compelling to young readers. These include a macabre tale of a murderous wife, a page-turner about a missing diamond, and a funny entry about a pair of hapless pheasant poachers. But the vast majority of these selections feature adult protagonists with adult concerns, which may limit the volume's audience.
