The Swan (short Story)
''The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More'' is a collection of seven short stories written by Roald Dahl. They are generally regarded as being aimed at a slightly older audience than many of his other children's books. The book was first published in London in 1977 by Jonathan Cape. The stories were written at varying times throughout his life. Two of the stories are autobiographical in nature; one describes how he first became a writer while the other describes some of Dahl's experiences as a fighter pilot in the Second World War. Another piece in the collection is a non-fiction account of a British farmer finding a legendary haul of ancient Roman treasure. In 2023, a story from the collection, "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar", will be adapted into a film directed by Wes Anderson with Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular character Henry Sugar.
