로알드 달 지음·김세미 옮김

헨리는 돈뭉치에서 20파운드짜리 지폐 한 장을

꺼내 발코니에서 떨어뜨렸다.

산들바람이 지폐를 받더니 파크 레인 방향으로 가는

보도 쪽으로 날렸다.

헨리는 가만히 서서 지켜보았다. 지폐는 공중에서 팔

랑팔랑 흔들리며 방향을 틀더니 결국 거리 반대쪽 노인

의 바로 앞에 떨어졌다. 노인은 다 해진 긴 갈색 코트와

후줄근한 모자를 걸치고 혼자서 천천히 걸어가고 있었

다. 그의 얼굴을 지나치며 팔랑이는 지폐를 본 노인은

걸음을 멈추고 그것을 집어 들었다. 그는 지폐를 양손으

로 잡고 뚫어지게 응시했다. 뒤집어 보기도 했다. 그러

더니 고개를 들어 위를 보았다.

“이봐요!” 헨리가 한 손을 동그랗게 모아 입가로 가져

다 대고 외쳤다.

“그거 가져요! 선물입니다!”

La personalísima obra de Roald Dahl es cada vez más conocida y aprecia-da en España. Relatos de lo inesperado es quizá su libro más universalmente famoso, en el que demuestra de forma plena la afirmación: «La mente de Roald Dahl es inequívocamente malévola y perversa» (The Washing-ton Post). En efecto, el autor despliega de manera magistral su mortífero ingenio y su macabro sentido del humor a lo largo de estos cuentos, rematados con desenlaces tan imprevistos como certeros. Este libro dio lugar a una célebre serie televisiva cuyos episodios estaban presentados por el propio Roald Dahl.«Un narrador en la tradición de Poe y Hawthorne. Dahl comparte la maestría de los grandes escritores del pasado con respecto a la trama y los personajes, unida a una ferocidad y un retorcimiento típicamente suyos» (Los Angeles Times).

Roald Dahl (1916-1990) es un autor justamente famoso por su extraordinario ingenio, su destreza narrativa, su dominio del humor negro y su inagotable capacidad de sorpresa, que llevaron a Alfred Hitchcock a adaptar para la te-levisión muchos de sus relatos. En Anagrama se han publicado Mi tío Oswald, El gran cambiazo (Gran Premio del Humor Negro), Historias extraordinarias, Relatos de lo inesperado, Dos fábulas y Puchero de rimas. En otra faceta, Roald Dahl goza de una extraordinaria popularidad como autor de libros para niños.

In 2014 we celebrated 50 years of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and in 2015, it is the 35th year of The Twits. In July 2015, Penguin Random House created

the first ever Roald Dahl gaming app, ‘Twit or Miss’ to mark the occasion. In 2016 we shall see the biggest celebration of all for Roald Dahl’s centenary year, with a timeline of exciting activity throughout the year: a new BFG film, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Mark Rylance, will be released in July 2016. Cardiff is set for a big adventure and has been named the ‘City of the Unexpected’ involving theatre, art and performance, with Quentin

Blake unveiling an exhibition of illustrations especially for World Book Day. Furthermore, the centenary year will see celebrations of the ‘world’s greatest

storyteller’ in all corners of the globe, providing strong publication opportunities in all territories and potential to build on Dahl’s huge international success to date.

Dahl fans must wonder where his inspiration for his magical stories comes from, and in 2016 John Murray will publish something that may just reveal the secret. From his first painfully scribbled note home at boarding school until his death 64 years later, Roald Dahl was a prolific letter writer. From the tens of thousands of letters he left behind, John Murray have collated his opinions, advice, anecdotes and confessions in Letters from Roald Dahl, which will be edited by Dahl’s critically acclaimed biographer Donald Sturrock and published in September 2016.

Born on 13th September 1916 in Cardiff, Wales to Norwegian parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, in which he became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence in the 1940s with works for both children and adults and became one of the world’s best-selling authors. He has been referred to as ‘one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century’.

Dahl’s short stories are known for their unexpected endings and his children’s books for their unsentimental, often very dark humour. His published works include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, George’s Marvellous Medicine, Esio Trot and The BFG, all of which have been adapted for film or television.

2016 is the year we celebrate 100 years of Roald Dahl. ‘Tremendous things are in store for you! Many wonderful surprises await you!’

This is a gorgeous, light-hearted story about two children, a shaggy dog and a bucketful of mischievous frogs plus their toady sidekicks who are most definitely ‘Not Frogs’. The children try to gather up all the frogs, but their jumpiness and the shaggy dog’s exuberance mean that soon frogs and toads are scattered all over the garden, even though ‘toads don’t jump – not if we can help it anyway’. Counting games and activities run alongside the story – inspired by the children’s struggle to re-count the 22 escaped frogs and toads. Sam Usher’s artwork will give a warm and witty, classic yet contemporary look to the text.

Michael Morpurgo is one of Britain’s best-loved writers for children and has won many prizes including the Smarties Prize, The Writers Guild Award and the Blue Peter Book Award for his novel Private Peaceful, which has also had two successful runs as a play.

He is the author of War Horse, which was adapted into a box office success by Steven Spielberg. From 2003-2005 he was the Children’s Laureate, a role which took him all over the UK to promote literacy and reading.

Michael’s lastest novel, Listen to the Moon, a First World War novel about the sinking of the Lusitania, was published to critical acclaim and was shortlisted for the Costa Children’s Book of the Year Award. All rights held by HarperCollins.

Praise for Michael Morpurgo:

Freddie Mole lives with his dad - a washing machine repair man - and his younger siblings. His beloved mum is often away for long periods as she works on ocean-going cruise ships, so life isn’t always easy for Freddie. One day, his dad is called to repair the washing machine at a circus that has come to town and Freddie goes along to help.

Through a stroke of luck, Freddie lands a holiday job cleaning up and helping out at the circus. But before he knows it, he’s invited to join the trapeze artists and finds himself performing in front of a large and appreciative audience. It’s pretty hair-raising, but Freddie does brilliantly. Then, when the lion tamer suddenly leaves the show, Freddie is called in to take his place and before he knows it, he’s Freddie Mole, Lion Tamer extraordinaire!

Alexander McCall Smith is best-known as the author of the internationally acclaimed No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series but has also written more than thirty children’s books including The Perfect Hamburger and the Akimbo series.

Henry Yewbeam has not grown since he was twisted through time from 1916 into the present and found himself in the care of his cousin, Charlie Bone. Three years have passed since then, but it’s increasingly apparent that Henry is not growing…

Henry is ushered into the care of the Little Villains, the last survivors of the tiny folk who came out of the forest long ago. Along with other lost time-travelling children, Henry lives in a mansion outside a town called Timeless. With their magical forest potions the capricious Little Villains can help Henry to grow and even find his way back to life with Charlie. But their help is grudgingly given. They take against Henry because of his cat, Enkidu: their father, it seems, was killed by a cat called Beast, the companion of the sinister Mayor who is on Henry’s trail. Somehow Henry must gain the Villains’ trust – but who would have guessed that Enkidu is the key to the breakthrough…

Jenny Nimmo was born in Windsor, Berkshire. On leaving school she became a drama student and then taught English in Italy. She joined the BBC and worked as a photographic researcher, assistant floor manager and director/adaptor for children’s programmes. The Charlie Bone series has been translated into over 20 languages.

Praise for the Charlie Bone series:

Katy lives with sister Clover, Dad, stepmum Izzie, stepsister Elsie and three younger half siblings. She is tall and skinny and harum-scarum, and she’s in and out of scrapes as she leads the other kids on adventures, especially in the Secret Garden next door. Katy’s relationship with Izzie and Elsie is tricky - she can’t help feeling resentful of them and often lets it show.

When Katy argues with Izzie, she’s banned from going swimming with the rest of the family. Instead, she sneaks into the Secret Garden to play, and this time Katy’s recklessness gets her into terrible trouble: the tree swing she’s made comes loose and she falls, breaking her back. Now Katy is paralysed from the waist down and for a long time she feels angry and upset, especially with Izzie… How is Katy going to come to terms with her disability? And will she ever feel truly like herself again?
