Title: A Favor, please
Post by: Corsair on April 12, 2004, 07:27:38 pm

I'm currently looking for a short story by Roald Dahl on the Internet. It's entitled "They Shall Not Grow Old." I've been searching for it for a long time, and if someone thinks that they might be able to find an electronic copy, that would be wonderful. I have it in a book of mine, but I want to email it to a friend...

Much obliged.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to find an electronic copy very easily, people are still making money selling it. ;)

Err...no...

Tis a worth quest though. Roald Dahl's adult short stories are an excellent read, a bit off beat, very interesting.

It's a more adult story. And that's the synopsis, I found it too. It's 17 pages in the copy that I own...but I'm too lazy to scan the whole thing in so I'm trying to find an electronic copy.

Meh. Damn copyright laws.
