Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Trickery by Roald Dahl, read by Kevin Eldon, Stephen Mangan, Cillian Murphy, Derek Jacobi, Richard E. Grant, Stephanie Beacham, Jessica Hynes, Andrew Scott and Tom Felton.
How underhand could you be to get what you want? In these ten tales of dark and twisted trickery Roald Dahl reveals that we are at our smartest and most cunning when we set out to deceive others - and, sometimes, even ourselves.
Here, among others, you'll read of the married couple and the parting gift which rocks their marriage, the light fingered hitch-hiker and the grateful motorist, and discover why the serious poacher keeps a few sleeping pills in his arsenal.

Good collection
Good collection of stories. Only the last story has an issue and that is that my copy repeated it for some reason. Otherwise very good and worth a listen.

A great bag of Tricks
This was a fun set of stories to listen to; all were slightly different but all involved a twist in the tale of one kind or another. A great cast of narrators made the experience even more enjoyable. This is definitely one I will be dipping into again.

Poor
Even though the performances were good, the stories were not. This is unusual for Roald Dahl. The other collections are great.
