|title=The Complete Short Stories: Volume One
|author=Roald Dahl
|rating=4.5
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=Roald Dahl’s name on a book has for me always meant I was in for a fun and imaginative read. His children’s books are the pinnacle of children’s literature and combine fantastic ideas with wordplay and some of the most amusing characters and situations. The stories for a younger audience always managed to thrill and entertain both adult and child and reading them aloud is a joy. In short I believe Roald Dahl was a true master of storytelling. I have however only actually read one of his adult books before reading this collection of short stories.

|summary=Lord Uhtred is outlawed and evicted from his land as he continues to niggle the Saxon clergy. However this time it's in a big way: he murders an abbot while trying to reclaim his eldest son. As a punishment he's evicted from his land so Uhtred does the only thing he can: he follows his destiny and travels north to reclaim Bebbanburg (Bamburgh) from his usurping uncle, Aelfric. There's a chasm between his dream and reality, but Uhtred is determined. Perhaps it's just as well because his choice of strategy will shape a nation.
