The Twits

The Twits, volume 1 in The Roald Dahl Classic Collection, introduces readers to the ghastly Mr. and Mrs. Twit, a vile pair who delight in dirty beards, wormy spaghetti, and mean pranks. Their captive monkeys, the Muggle-Wumps, and a clever Roly-Poly bird scheme to turn the tables, leading to a twisted, laugh-out-loud reckoning.

This Roald Dahl classic blends juvenile humor, animal antics, and a pinch of fantasy into a 20th-century English children’s story. The edition includes original, unrevised text and archival materials from the Roald Dahl Museum. The story’s blend of grotesque comedy and magical justice has made it a favorite for generations.
