Esio Trot is the last of Roald Dahl's books to be published in his lifetime. It is the story of an ageing, lonely man (Mr Hoppy) trying to make a connection with a person that he has loved from afar. In 2015 it was adapted by Richard Curtis into a BBC television film, starring Dustin Hoffman and Judi Dench as the couple, with James Corden narrating.
