Description

Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916), better known by the pen name Saki, and also frequently as H. H. Munro, was a British writer whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirize Edwardian society and culture. He is considered a master of the short story, and often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Influenced by Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, he himself influenced A. A. Milne, Noel Coward and P. G. Wodehouse. This collection has all of his short stories in following collections: Beasts and Super-Beasts Reginald Reginald in Russia and Other Sketches The Chronicles of Clovis The Complete Short Stories of Saki The Square Egg, and Other Sketches The Toys of Peace
