Weirdly, the only violent part of any of his books that I remember bothering me as little kid was when Mr. Fox got his tail cut off. And I only know that it bothered me because it's pretty much the only thing I remember about that book. (It was a classroom read-aloud when I was in 2nd grade.)

Of course, I was the weird kid who was checking out Alfred Hitchcock horror story anthologies from the library when she was 9, so what do I know?

For me, the only story of his I reacted badly to was "The Swan". I was kind of bullied a lot as a kid, though. Between the train tracks, Peter being shot, and them cutting off the swan wings and tying them onto him when he'd pleaded with them not to kill it ...

Yeah. I didn't enjoy that one very much.

I always thought that group of short stories were for older kids, like kids in their teenage years. I agree, none of Dahl's stories really upset me, but "The Swan" got under my skin really bad. I probably read it too young.
