roald Dahl Is Known For Creating Stories That Are Completely Unrealistic (and Almost Immoral) But Tremendously Funny. This Book Is No Different. Danny Is The Only Son Of A Car Mechanic Who Lives In A Gypsy Caravan Behind His Garage. One Evening, Danny Wakes Up To Find His Father Missing. Hours Later He Returns And Confesses His Secret That Danny Comes From A Long Line Of Pheasant Poachers. Poaching Is Apparently A Noble Profession Practiced By Most Of The Citizens In The Community (including The Sole Police Officer), Except For The Owner Of Woods Where The Pheasants Live. The Owner, Mr. Hazell Is A Vile, Selfish Man, Thus Justifying The Illegal Activity That Takes Place In His Woods. In This Setting The Story Celebrates The Bond Between A Father And His Son. Through All The Bizarreness Of The Story, The Poaching Methods And Revenge Tactics, It Is The Relationship Between Danny And His Father That Remains At The Heart Of The Story. If You Are Looking For A Story With A Moral, This Is Not It. But If You Are Looking For A Sweet And Funny Fable, This Is A Wonderful Example Of Storytelling. 2002 (orig. 1975), Random House,
