What is the author's style in The Best of Roald Dahl by Roald Dahl?

"The Best of Roald Dahl" is a collection of short stories, and the tone and language of each story varies depending on the subject matter. He uses simple, easy to understand English, with some words and objects that are common to other lands when the setting is outside his usual setting of England. However, Dahl has an overall humorous tone throughout the stories as he sets up situations and characters that most people would never dream of. In several stories, the tone is dominantly humorous and perverse, especially in those stories like "Lamb to the Slaughter," "Dip in the Pool," and "The Great Switcheroo."
