Revolting Rhymes

Revolting Rhymes is a 1982 collection of Roald Dahl poems first published in 1982 originally under the title Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes. A parody of traditional folk tales in verse, Dahl gives a re-interpretation of six well-known fairy tales, featuring surprise endings in place of the traditional happily-ever-after finishes. The poems are illustrated by Quentin Blake. It is the shortest children's book Dahl ever wrote.
