Rhyme Stew

An inventive and irreverent collection for older children and adults alike, Rhyme Stew bubbles over with Roald Dahl's extraordinary humour and imagination.

A collection of comic verse, Rhyme Stew contains 15 poems including several based on well-known children's fairy stories. Unlike Revolting Rhymes and Dirty Beasts, though, Rhyme Stew is a collection for older children and comes with the warning: Unsuitable for Small People.

• Dick Whittington and His Cat
  
• St. Ives
  
• A Hand in the Bird
  
• The Tortoise and the Hare
  
• The Price of Debauchery
