|title=The Complete Short Stories: Volume Two
|author=Roald Dahl
|rating=5
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=Having only recently read the first volume of this collection of all of Roald Dahl’s short stories I couldn’t help but think of the phrase ''too much of a good thing'' although I have never really agreed with the phrase (I could happily gorge on chocolate or whisky for days without the slightest regret) I am still pleased that this book provides yet more evidence of the inaccuracy of the expression. With stories as diverse as a butler getting revenge on his employer and a baby being brought up on royal jelly by a fanatical bee lover, these are tales of horror, humour, adventure, love and all out weirdness.
