Renowned for his witty dialogue and macabre humor, Saki skewered the pretensions of the Edwardian age. These short stories recount the escapades of an irreverent socialite and showcase the author's mastery of comic repartee. Saki's satiric tales remain remarkably contemporary, offering paradoxical combinations of good-natured irony and cheerful cruelty. Introduction by A. A. Milne.

Saki

Hector Hugh Munro (1870 1916) was a British author best known by his pen name Saki.

Although he wrote two novels and several political sketches most notably The Westminster Alice, a parody authorized by Carroll's publishers it is his large output of satirical short stories for which he is remembered, and is still considered one of the masters of the genre.
