«Cuentos en verso para niños perversos» is Roald Dahl's book of children's poems, published by Santillana Educación in paperback (72 pages, in Spanish).
Roald Dahl reinvents six classic tales in verse with his characteristic black humour: Snow White is the boss of a gang of gambling dwarfs, Little Red Riding Hood collects wolf-fur coats, and the big bad wolf plans to blow up the Three Little Pigs' house with dynamite. Quentin Blake's illustrations accompany these irreverent and surprising versions of traditional stories.
Originally published as «Revolting Rhymes»; this Spanish edition, translated by Miguel Azaola, belongs to the Infantil Naranja 10 Años collection from Alfaguara Infantil.
Recommended for readers aged 10 to 12, and for adults who enjoy black humour and parodic retellings of fairy tales.
Roald Dahl was a British author of popular children's literature and short stories, a poet, screenwriter and a wartime fighter ace. His books have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide. He has been called "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century".
