The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More is a collection of seven short stories written by Roald Dahl. They are generally regarded as being aimed for a slightly older audience than many of his other children's books.

The stories were written at varying times throughout his life, and are believed by many to reflect some of his best fiction writing. Two of the stories are autobiographical in nature; one describes how he first became a writer while the other describes some of Dahl's experiences as a fighter pilot in World War II. Another piece in the collection is a non-fiction account of a British farmer finding a legendary haul of ancient Roman treasure. The book was first published in 1977 by Jonathan Cape.

@the convention!!

Hope you enjoyed the Convention ?

I have a vague memory of reading this at primary school - the alternate / fictionalised ending to the book's title track especially stuck with me. (I'm pretty sure I picked up the book at the Dublin Convention because of that particular memory). Some of the stories (especially the first two) I enjoyed more than others, but it was nice to re-read the book after all this time.

Anyhow, thanks for having released it, the book sparked a few happy memories. Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. 7 years, where does the time go...

There's a suitcase hanging on the wall in the foyer that's being used as a shelf for left books.

Henry Sugar is finally travelling again after 7 years in Belfast.
