Cruelty [Penguin]

Cruelty has a human heart . . .

Even when we mean to be kind we can sometimes be cruel. We each have a streak of nastiness inside us. In these ten tales of cruelty master storyteller Roald Dahl explores how and why it is we make others suffer.

Among others, youll read the story of two young bullies and the boy they torment, the adulterous wife who uncovers her husbands secret, the man with a painting tattooed on his back whose value he doesnt appreciate and the butler and chef who run rings around their obnoxious employer.
