This was a good short novella from Roald Dahl about a Vicar with dyslexia. Nothing much to say about it other than that really.

A book published after Roald Dahl's death - the forward to this copy is written by Quentin Blake, explaining how the book came about, and also talks about the long standing partnership he had with Dahl as his illustrator for many of his books.

Written in the last months of his life, this book was donated for the benefit of the Dyslexia Institute in London.

A quirky tale about a boy who works to overcome his dyslexia, to the point that he could pass all his studies to become a vicar.

His very first job placement was to be the vicar in Nibbleswicke, where on the night before his first day, his nerves overtook him and gave him a condition where he would pronounce every important word in a sentence backwards.

Many funny sentences are the result, as he starts to introduce himself to the tiny town, and commence delivering the services.

What a funny short story! It was delightful to read and interesting to attempt to to pronounce the backwards words. I also liked learning more about Roald Dahl by reading the Forward written the Illustrator.

Simple. But really made me chuckle.

Loved this book

Éste creo que sería un libro que cualquier persona le daría unas tres estrellaspero yo no sé porque me siento tan atraído a la comedia que tiene este autor que es inevitable, darle una buena calificación a cada libro que leo de él. Este en particular no lo conocía y me intrigó bastante porque el título ya era de por si bastante extraño. Me encantó la comedia, la historia y es que de verdad Roald Dahl es un escritor del cual me encantaría coleccionar absolutamente todo lo que ha publicado en su carrera. Siento que si tengo hijos en un futuro, entre Arnold Lobel y él, serían las lecturas nocturnas para acostarlos en sus camas. Bastante divertido y ameno. Es como un té cuando estás acostado bajo la lluvia. Sientes que todo está bien, y que las risas siempre estarán presentes.

Hilarious- brought to my attention by my niece (10) and my nephew (6) who both love it and fall about laughing every time they read it.

The Rev Robert Lee has a problem - he says the most important word in the sentence backwards.
E.g. He 'bent down and smiled at the dog. 'Good god', he said. 'Good little god'.

Visiting the charity knitters 'How lovely!' he cried. 'How clever you all are! Each of you stink!'.

Don't 'plug' the communion wine, 'pis' it......

'The blessing of Dog Almighty'

No 'krap'-ing outside the church

Very funny

Very cute story, and as usual with Roald Dahl books, it had me laughing out loud.

(My only tiny gripe is the fact that the typesetting inside is horrendous. The book may be for charity, but that is no reason to ignore the proper way to lay out a book.)

Un libro pequeñito, muy tierno y que te hará reír mucho, tiene ese toque especial que Roald Dahl le da a todos sus libros. Se ha convertido en uno muy especial para mí por haberlo leído en la biblioteca Vasconcelos :3

I was laughing out loud. Surprisingly funny and sweet.

Fun, short read which will give you a chuckle. Poor Pastor Lee - so many confusing problems - and all because he says random words backwards! This was written for the benefit of the Dyslexia Institute.

I am dying to read this aloud, but I would walk a fine line that might get me in trouble. It would be such a joy, though! Hopefully, parents the world over delight in reading this silly, sometimes vulgar book to their children.
