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. 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
