I don't know if Roald Dahl actually wrote this, but if so it's very much not up to the usual standards. Seems to be a compilation of tired old jokes shoe-horned into themes vaguely associated with Dahl's books, often simply substituting a word or two (e.g. Snozzcumber for cucumber). Note the description above describes "...Dahl's very own...knock knock jokes". There are only a few and the rest is derivative garbage. Don't waste your money.
