About This Book
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More is a collection of seven short stories. In the title story a man gets his wish -- to be able to see through solid surfaces -- and must decide if he should use his power for good or for personal gain. Other memorable characters from this anthology include a boy who can talk to animals, a cunning hitchhiker with an odd talent, and a man who finds a fabulous fortune but loses a golden opportunity.About the Authors or Illustrators
Roald Dahl, one of the greatest story-tellers of all time, started writing after nearly dying in a plane crash in World War II. His first children's novel, James and the Giant Peach, was followed by an unbroken string of hugely successful, best-selling titles.
