Description	Kiss Kiss is a collection of short stories by Roald Dahl, first published in 1960 by Alfred A. Knopf. Most of the constituent stories had been previously published elsewhere.It contains the following short stories:"The Landlady" (first appeared in The New Yorker magazine, November 28, 1959 "All works by Roald Dahl." The New Yorker. Retrieved 1 October 2014.)"William and Mary" "The Way Up to Heaven" (first appeared in The New Yorker magazine, February 27, 1954)"Parson's Pleasure""Mrs. Bixby and the Colonel's Coat""Royal Jelly""Georgy Porgy""""Edward the Conqueror" (first appeared in The New Yorker magazine, October 31, 1953)"Pig""The Champion of the World" (first appeared in The New Yorker magazine, January 31, 1959)Without becoming horror, these are some of Dahl's most macabre stories. Delicately, the naive punish the wicked, but also the other way around.Most of the stories are presented as typical narratives, albeit with imaginative characters. The horror of each story is built around implication, and many horrific endings, involving death or unpleasant situations, can only be inferred, since nothing is directly stated."The Champion of the World" is a condensed version of the story that would become Dahl's 1977 children's book, Danny the Champion of the World.
