Withnotes on simple staging, props and costumes, these plays can beperformed with the minimum of experience or resources. Evidently not even Roald Dahl could resist the acronym craze ofthe early eighties. BFG? Bellowing ferret-faced golfer?Backstabbing fairy godmother? Oh, oh... Big Friendly Giant! ThisBFG doesn't seem all that F at first as he creeps down a Londonstreet, snatches little Sophie out of her bed, and bounds away withher to giant land. And he's not really all that B when comparedwith his evil, carnivorous brethren, who bully him for being suchan oddball runt. After all, he eats only disgusting snozzcumbers,and while the other Gs are snacking on little boys and girls, he'sblowing happy dreams in through their windows. What kind of way isthat for a G to behave? The BFG is one of Dahl's most lovable

Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was born in Odense, the son of a shoemaker. His early life was wretched, but he was adopted by a patron and became a short-story writer, novelist and playwright, though he remains best-known for his magical fairy tales which were published between 1835 and 1872. For 150 years his stories have been delighting both adults and children. Packed with a light-hearted whimsy combined with a mature wisdom they are as entrancing as ever. Here are all of Andersen's 168 tales, and among the favourites are 'The Red Shoes', 'The Mermaid', 'The Real Princess', 'The Emperor's New Clothes', The Tinder Box' and of course 'The Ugly Duckling'.
