About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Nunc Dimittis by Roald Dahl, read by Derek Jacobi.
In Nunc Dimittis, Roald Dahl tells a dark story about the sinister side of human nature. Here, a slighted old man takes an elaborate and chilling revenge on his tormentor . . .
Nunc Dimittis is taken from the short story collection Someone Like You, which includes seventeen other devious and shocking stories, featuring the wife who serves a dish that baffles the police; a curious machine that reveals the horrifying truth about plants; the man waiting to be bitten by the venomous snake asleep on his stomach; and others.
