I am not Roald Dahl, I am not that man, A TREASURY OF CHILDREN'S STORIES.I am not Roald Dahl; it’s not a part of my plan,The poor man is dead, as dead as can be,I am not that man, now where is my tea?A TREASURY OF CHILDREN'S STORIES. I am not Roald Dahl, nor am I trying to imply that I am. I am Gerrard Wilson, and that is a fact. Welcome to my Treasury of Children’s Stories. I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I enjoyed myself writing them. I endeavoured to include something for everyone; from funny to scary, serious to crazy, and a whole lot more in between. There are so many stories, limericks and songs crammed into this book I found it impossible to record them onto this page with any degree of order, semblance of normality, so delve into the book, at random, and go with the flow.Signed: Gerrard Wilson.
