Fighters
£10.87

Could Sugar Ray Robinson have beaten Sonny Liston? The answer most experts agree would be no. But what if as Bert Sugar has done here one were to take all the boxers & reduce them in the minds eye to the same height the same weight the same ring conditions?

For Sugar makes The Sweet Science one helluva sweet quarrel." ...

Including takes of sweet-shops and chocolate mean old ladies and a Great Mouse Plot - the inspiration for some of his most marvellous storybooks in the years to come.

Roald Dahl the best-loved of children's writers was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. After school in England he went to work for Shell in Africa. He began to write after "a monumental bash on the head" sustained as an RAF pilot in World War II. Roald Dahl died in 1990. Quentin Blake is one of the
best-known and best-loved children's illustrators and it's impossible now to think of Roald Dahl's writings without imagining Quentin Blake's illustrations."
