Book Description
This is the tale of the Twits: Mr and Mrs Twit, an obnoxious couple who spend their lives trying to outdo each other in nastiness. But the Muggle-Wump monkeys and the Roly-Poly bird hatch an ingenious plan to give them just the ghastly surprise they deserve.

The Twits

The Twits is a children's book written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake.

Mr and Mrs Twit are two ugly, smelly, nasty people, who spend their lives playing nasty tricks on each other. At the same time they enjoy treating animals with cruelty, by luring birds to glue-smothered trees (so that they can be baked into bird pie) and tormenting their pet monkeys (by getting them to stand upside down, one on top of the other). Then, one day, the arrival of the Roly-Poly Bird from Africa allows the monkeys to get the revenge that they have craved for years.

作者简介 　　Roald Dahl
　　Roald Dahl (13 September,1916——23 November,1990),Best Known As: Author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
　　Roald Dahl's quirky and darkly funny tales made him a popular children's author in the second half of the 20th century. In the 1960s he began to write children's books; his first, James and the Giant Peach, was published in 1961. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the tale of a poor urchin was published in 1964. It became Dahl's best known book and was made into a feature film in 1971 (starring Gene Wilder as Wonka and Peter Ostrum as Charlie) and again in 2005 (with Johnny Depp as Wonka and Freddie Highmore as Charlie). Dahl's many other books include Danny The Champion of the World (1975), The BFG (1982) and Matilda (1988).
媒体推荐 　　Roald Dahl has such an unusual first name due to fact that his parents spelt his name wrong on the Register of Births. From this non-literary background came one of the masters of children's literature.
　　The Twits is one of his many successful and highly entertaining books. The Twits are a couple that nobody would like to know. They are hairy, dirty, smelly and generally unpleasant. Roald Dahl's characters are possibly the most horrid people you will ever read about. Mr and Mrs Twit spend their days inventing new ways to be be nasty to each other. Each time Mrs Twit does something bad to Mr Twit, he just invents something worse to do to her. The Twits are not only unpleasant towards each other but they also hate animals. It is because of the Twits' attitude towards animals that we see their really awful side: Mr Twit keeps a family of monkeys that have to spend their days upside down and Mrs Twit likes to make pies with freshly caught birds.
　　Dahl's story, as is characteristic with all his books, has a happy ending. Only how will the animals beat the Twits?
