Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl is a playful and imaginative poetry collection by Roald Dahl that reimagines traditional fairy tales with a mischievous twist. Stories such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and The Three Little Pigs are retold in rhyme with unexpected plot changes and humorous, often darkly comic endings.
Dahl’s version of these classic tales replaces predictable storytelling with surprise, wit, and clever wordplay. Heroes and villains behave in unexpected ways, and familiar endings are turned upside down to create entertaining and sometimes shocking reinterpretations.
Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl is brought to life by Quentin Blake’s lively and expressive illustrations, which perfectly match the energetic tone of the poems. Together, the text and artwork create a bold and memorable reading experience.
At its core, the book celebrates creativity, humour, and storytelling freedom, encouraging readers to rethink familiar stories while enjoying Roald Dahl’s signature playful and rebellious style.
