Gourt Home::Gourt :: The Twits
The Twits is a children's book written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake.
Synopsis
Mr and Mrs Twit are two ugly, smelly, nasty people, who spend their lives playing nasty tricks on each other. At the same time they enjoy treating animals with cruelty, by luring birds to glue-smothered trees (so that they can be baked into bird pie) and tormenting their pet monkeys (by getting them to stand upside down, one on top of the other). Then, one day, the arrival of the Roly-Poly Bird from Africa allows the monkeys to get the revenge that they have craved for years.
