This title contains stories including: "The Landlady", "William and Mary", "The Way up to Heaven", "Parson's Pleasures", "Mrs Bixby and the Colonel's Coat", "Royal Jelly", "Gregory Progy", "Genesis and Catastrophe", "Edwards the Conqueror", "Pig", and "The Champion of the World".

These five short stories offer a selection of Dahl's adult writing. "Parson's Pleasure" is a country tale, "A Piece of Cake", a wartime reminiscence, "Lamb to the Slaughter" a story of vengeful murder, and the remaining two, set in London, are on favourite themes of greed and snobbery.
