Description
Songs and Verse by Roald Dahl is a joyful collection of poems and rhymes drawn from across his much-loved stories, gathered together into one vibrant volume. Known for his sharp wit, playful rhythm, and mischievous humor, Dahl brings to life a world filled with strange creatures, cheeky children, and unforgettable characters — all through verse.
The book is divided into themed sections that celebrate different aspects of Dahl’s storytelling. Readers will find familiar favorites from books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, The Twits, and Revolting Rhymes, alongside lesser-known or previously unpublished pieces.
What makes this collection extra special is the lively artwork contributed by a range of well-known illustrators, including Quentin Blake, whose quirky style is closely associated with Dahl’s work. These visuals add an extra layer of fun and imagination to the poems.
Songs and Verse captures the spirit of Dahl’s world — funny, clever, occasionally dark, and always entertaining. It’s a perfect pick for children and adults who enjoy language that leaps off the page and stories told in rhyme
