The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

I first read this compilation over twenty years ago, and I still own the same tattered copy. While Roald Dahl is hands-down my favorite children's author ever (and his adult stories are terrific, but not to the same degree), these stories in particular still run through my head frequently for their magical but incredibly believable elements. No one makes the ordinary extraordinary like this man did.

I have always love Roald Dahl books especially The Witches. I think that Roald Dahl does good short stories because I like the way he left you sort of hanging at the end. It is a good book for 4th to 6th graders because of the language and the way it was written. I really would reccomend this book.

Browsing through the local bookstore, I walked past the Roald Dahl section, saw---The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More--- and bought it. I have been reading it over and over again ever since. The stories are intriguing and imaginative. The story of Henry Sugar especially shows how much of a kid is in Roald Dahl. Each with its very own twist that makes it stand out. For example, Henry Sugar's amazing powers, and on... No wonder this book got 5 stars for most of its reviews!!

I supurb read that is filled with wacky ideas and exciting interpritations that with fill your mind with thoughts to last for hours. For those who can understand the concept of having fantasy mixed with humour and excitement that opens your mind to new concepts. Indeed enjoyable and recomended by me truely.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More tells, obviously, seven short stories. The collection includes "The Boy Who Talked with Animals", "The Hitchiker", "The Mildenhall Treasure", "The Swan", "Lucky Break", "A Piece of Cake", and of course "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar." The story of Henry Sugar tells the adventure or a man who learns to see without his eyes and the interesting way he chooses to use his talent. The character of Henry Sugar undergoes a transformation from an egotistiacl socialite to a humanitarian with a twist.

This is definately classic, witty, and slightly twisted (as always) Roald Dahl! It explores the themes of sight, focus, and charity.

These 7 stories are the best stories you will ever read! This Book includes The Boy
Who Could Talk To Animals,The Hitchhiker,The Mildenhall Treasure,The Swan,The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar,Lucky Break,and a Piece of cake.Please buy this book, I think you will really enjoy it!

My 9 year old loved Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and James & the Giant Peach, so we put several of Dahl's books on his Christmas list. He got this one about Henry Sugar. I decided to read him a chapter at bedtime one night. I came across this line: "Jesus, I thought you were still inside. I came down half a mile away and ran like hell. Are you all right?" When I saw the swear words of this magnatude in what is supposed to be a children's book I was shocked. I changed the words on the fly to something else and decided then to donate the book to the nearest charity. A movie with that kind of language is rated PG-13. I am shocked that this is marketed for children.
