H.H. Munro (Saki) is one of the undisputed masters of the short story. In this complete compendium, the full gamut of his subjects and themes are experienced. His stories are imbued with humorous
satire, biting irony and often the macabre, all of which have one target: the stupidities and hypocrisies of Edwardian upper-class society.

Editorial Reviews
“English–Australian narrator Rupert Degas has a grand time giving voice to Saki’s many tales of blustering, tyrannical aunts; mischievous children; and that most important of all English inventions—the twit…Degas is especially deft at accentuating the darker and more cynical tones in some of Saki’s best-known works…Satirical, sly, and sophisticated—listen closely, and you’ll hear why everyone from P. G. Wodehouse to Monty Python owes a huge debt of gratitude to this Edwardian comic genius. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
Saki was the pen name of the British writer Hector Hugh Munro (1870–1916). In addition to his short stories, of which he was an acknowledged master, he also wrote a full-length
play, The Watched Pot, in collaboration with Charles Maude; two one-act plays; a historical study, The Rise of the Russian Empire; a short novel, The Unbearable Bassington; a parody of Alice in Wonderland, The Westminster Alice; and a fantasy about
England under German occupation, When William Came.
