Roald Dahl The Twits Novel

The Twits by Roald Dahl is a darkly comic children’s novel that celebrates cleverness, kindness, and poetic justice.

The story revolves around Mr. and Mrs. Twit, two of the most foul-tempered, dirty, and cruel people imaginable. They delight in playing nasty tricks on each other and tormenting everyone around them—especially animals. Mr. Twit is proud of his filthy beard filled with old food, while Mrs. Twit is equally mean-spirited and spiteful. Together, they run a cruel monkey circus, treating the animals with shocking unkindness.

Unbeknownst to the Twits, the animals—led by the clever Muggle-Wump monkeys and a group of resourceful birds— decide they’ve had enough. Using intelligence, teamwork, and patience, the animals hatch a plan to give the Twits exactly what they deserve. What follows is a hilarious and satisfying tale of revenge, where cruelty is outsmarted by goodness and wit.

With its sharp humor, exaggerated villains, and memorable moral, The Twits is a classic Roald Dahl story that teaches young readers that ugliness inside eventually shows on the outside, and that kindness and clever thinking can triumph over meanness.
