The Landlady By Roald Dahl

Let me introduce you to a new read in the class this month called ‘The Landlady’ by Roald Dahl. It’s about a young man by the name of Billy Weaver; he is visiting the City of Bath for the first time and is looking for accommodation. He is mysteriously drawn to a house and bizarrely the Landlady was expecting the man. The Landlady was a very welcoming and strangely nice lady. Billy decided to stay the night as it was fantastically cheap. Only Five and Six pence a night! He finds himself signing the visitor book and only 2 names were on it, they seemed very disturbing to him; he had seen 2 of the names on a newspaper report, but when he spoke to the Landlady about it she insisted both of them were still staying in the house, on the top floor.
