The Twits - Roald Dahl

The Twits by Roald Dahl is one of his funniest and most mischievous stories — a timeless tale about nastiness, tricks, and well-deserved payback.

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Twit: two of the most revolting, mean-spirited people you’ll ever encounter. They spend their days playing horrible pranks on each other, tormenting animals, and spreading misery wherever they go. But when the Muggle-Wump monkeys and the Roly-Poly Bird decide they’ve had enough, it’s time for the Twits to get a taste of their own medicine.

With Quentin Blake’s lively illustrations perfectly capturing Dahl’s twisted humor, this book delivers laugh-out-loud moments and a moral lesson about kindness, respect, and the ugliness of cruelty.

Part of The Roald Dahl Classic Collection, The Twits remains one of the author’s most beloved works — a brilliant blend of comedy, chaos, and justice served with a smile.
