First edition

Over to You: Ten Stories of Flyers and Flying is a collection of short stories by Roald Dahl. It was published in 1946 by Reynal & Hitchcock.[1]

This early collection is a stylistic departure from Dahl's better known stories. For the most part they do not use suspense or twist endings and are instead more slow-paced and reflective.

Over to You contains the following stories:

  • "An African Story"
  • "Only This"
  • "Katina"
  • "Beware of the Dog"
  • "They Shall Not Grow Old"
  • "Someone Like You"
  • "Death of an Old Old Man"
  • "Madame Rosette"
  • "A Piece of Cake"
  • "Yesterday Was Beautiful"
