This seems geared to a slightly younger audience than the other books I've read by Rhoald Dahl, but it's a sweet story and, as always, a wonderful trip back into a child's frame of mind.

A Roald Dahl story that I haven’t read or heard of. A cute story.

Love it. Though annoyingly white-saviour-ish with religious references. And yet, I'm a sucker for a story with a swan in it.
