Edward the Conqueror is a brilliant gem of a short story from Roald Dahl, the
master of the sting in the tail.
In Edward the Conqueror, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors, tells
a sinister story about the darker side of human nature. Here, a cat's curious
behaviour comes between a husband and his wife . . .
Edward the Conqueror is taken from the short story collection Kiss Kiss, which
includes ten other devious and shocking stories, featuring the wife who pawns
the mink coat from her lover with unexpected results; the priceless piece of
furniture that is the subject of a deceitful bargain; a wronged woman taking
revenge on her dead husband, and others.
'Unnerving bedtime stories, subtle, proficient, hair-raising and done to a
turn.' (San Francisco Chronicle )
This story is also available as a Penguin digital audio download read by Juliet
Stevenson.
