Synopsis
Penguin Audiobooks presents a brand new recording of Someone Like You, Roald Dahl's first collection of his world famous dark and sinister adult stories, brought to life by an all-star cast including Julian Rhind-Tutt, Stephen Mangan, Tamsin Greig, Derek Jacobi, Richard Griffiths, Willl Self, Jessica Hynes, Juliet Stevenson, Adrian Scarborough and Richard E. Grant.
A wife serves a dish that baffles the police; a harmless bet suddenly becomes anything but; a curious machine reveals a horrifying truth about plants; and a man lies awake waiting to be bitten by the venomous snake asleep on his stomach.
