While he is best known for his children's books, he also wrote several works for adults:
* Short stories: He wrote many dark and often macabre short stories for adults, some of which were later collected in volumes like "Someone Like You" and "Kiss Kiss."
* Novels: He wrote the novels "My Uncle Oswald" (a humorous and racy story) and "The Great Automatic Gramophone" (a fantastical story about a talking gramophone).
* Autobiography: He wrote "Boy: Tales of Childhood" and "Going Solo," both memoirs about his early life and experiences.
Therefore, Roald Dahl's writing career encompassed both children's literature and works for adults.
