Description
From an eBay auction by purviswalker1: “Another astonishingly rare title in Dahl’s output… The story was first published in Today’s Woman and saw two reprints – one in the Woman’s Journal of the following year and one in a news paper under an alternative title. The short story never surfaced again and is extremely difficult to find. It is a rather curious tale for the ‘master of the macabre’, in that it reads like a teen romance(!). The Dahl museum has the manuscript, the ending of which is a little different than the published version as there were a few editorial changes.”
