Parson's Pleasure is a wonderful gem of a short story from Roald Dahl, the
master of the sting in the tail.
In Parson's Pleasure, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors, tells a
sinister story about the darker side of human nature. Here, a priceless piece of
furniture is the subject of a deceitful bargain . . .
Parson's Pleasure 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 young man in need of
room who meets a most accommodating landlady; a wronged wife 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 Derek
Jacobi.
