The BFG / Matilda / George's Marvellous Medicine

I borrowed this book from a friend because The BFG and George's Marvellous Medicine were those two Roald Dahl books that I didn't get a chance to read as a kid, so I wanted to catch up on that. I never realised until now, now that I am reading it as an adult, the dark undertones of Roald Dahl's stories. The BFG and George's Marvellous Medicine, especially the latter, had plenty of those. This collection also included Matilda which I enjoyed a whole lot as a kid, but now that I am forced to look back on the stories I enjoyed as a kid with an adult's perspective, I discovered that Matilda wasn't all that happy fantasy that I used to think it was either.
