Over to You: Ten Stories of Flyers and Flying

Over to You: Ten Stories of Flyers and Flying is a collection of short stories by Roald Dahl. It was published in 1946 by Reynal & Hitchcock.[1]

First edition

This early collection is a stylistic departure from Dahl's better known stories. For the most part they do not use suspense or twist endings and are instead more slow-paced and reflective.

Over to You contains the following stories:

An African Story
Only This
Katina
Beware of the Dog
They Shall Not Grow Old
Someone Like You
Death of an Old Old Man
Madame Rosette
A Piece of Cake
Yesterday Was Beautiful
