5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books ever written, January 30, 1998

By A Customer

This book is one of my favourite books, not only by the late great Roald Dahl but ever. I did have a copy, but it has since disappeared; where, I have no idea. Anyone who loves the books of Roald Dahl should read this book, anyone who thinks that they can not be surprised by books anymore READ THIS... Every bookshop I visit I say 'Do you have a copy of Two Fables'. Amazon is the first one, which has answered yes... Just a review from Down Under, I hope that I win the prize of free books, because I really want to get this book and a million others. Thanks, I will include my email address to see if anyone else loves Roald Dahl, just like me.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Too Feeble", May 10, 2003

By A Customer

I'm a Dahl fan, but this odd little volume (published to commemorate the author's 70th birthday) has to be one of his least interesting works. The two parables, "The Princess and the Poacher" and "Princess Mammalia," are aimed at mature readers rather than children, but lack the wit and imagination usually found in Dahl's stories. A disappointment. Recommended for Dahl completists only.
