Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life. First US edition, first printing, collecting seven stories written in the Buckinghamshire countryside setting that Dahl called home. He notes in his preface that the stories were composed in the late 1940s and that "rereading them again now fills me with acute nostalgia and with vivid memories of those sweet days many years ago". The work first appeared in the UK the year prior.
