Mr Twit is a foul and smelly man with bits of cornflake and sardine in his beard.
Mrs Twit is a horrible old hag with a glass eye.
They've kept Muggle-Wump monkeys caged in the garden for far too long, and now the monkeys want to take their revenge . . .
Listen to THE TWITS and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios!
Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! inspired by the revolting Twits.

About the Author
Sitting in a hut at the bottom of his garden, surrounded by odd bits and pieces such as a suitcase (used as a footrest), his own hipbone (which he'd had replaced) and a heavy ball of metal foil (made from years' worth of chocolate wrappers), Roald Dahl wrote some of the world's best-loved stories including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits, The Witches, The BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox, James and the Giant Peach and lots more.
Quentin Blake (Illustrator)
Quentin Blake is one of Britain's most successful illustrators. He has illustrated nearly three hundred books and he was Roald Dahl's favourite illustrator. He has won many awards including the Whitbread Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal and taught for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art. In 1999 he became the first ever Children's Laureate and in 2013 he was knighted in the New Year's Honours.

amazing story that you almost can see and touch inside the story, on the cover it says "Roald Dahl No.1 story teller" and I think it is totally true. If I pick one favourite book I will pick this one.

The story is simple - and the titular characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, are both monstrously horrible and play nasty practical jokes on each other that get increasingly mean and dangerous. The language is great for reading aloud, and the descriptions delightfully vivid. For a story this short, there is a colourful cast of characters, and they emerge later in the story. I like how Dahl establishes the two leads firmly in our minds before introducing us to the others. The chief of these are the Muggle-Wumps, the Twits’ family of pet monkeys from their days as circus trainers. I would love to read their backstory!
In fact, I think the brilliance of Dahl’s writing is how it manages to present all these characters, even the walk-on ones like the postman, and the unfortunate boys who almost get baked in a pie, fully formed, and how it gets the reader wondering about their backstories.

The Twits is another excellent book by Roald Dahl. After reading this I think its personally better than James And The Giant Peach. It also looks like its a smaller book page-wise. Meaning there's not as many pages as James And The Giant Peach, but this book makes up for that by it being hilarious.
My favourite character is Mr Twit, he's a well-written character. Also he often insults his wife, Mrs Twit. He also has a long beard (which he hasn't shaved in donkeys years) which he often gets food stuck in.
The best part of the book is when the Monkeys (capital needed because they're an actual speaking character) get all of the Twit's furniture, and super-glue it onto the ceiling, making it look like they were upside down, but they actually weren't, but the Twits didn't realise that.
Overall excellent book for readers who like stories that have twists in.
Highly Recommended.
