SinopsisTHE COLLECTED SHORT STORIES OF SAKI - WORDSWORTH CLASSICS

'All decent people live beyond their incomes nowadays, and those who aren't respectable live beyond other peoples'.

Saki H.H. Munro stands alongside Anton Chekhov and O Henry as a master of the short story. His extraordinary stories are a mixture of humorous satire, irony and the macabre, in which the stupidities and hypocrisy of conventional society are viciously pilloried.

This collection includes Sredni Vastor and The Unrest Cure. 'We all know that Prime Ministers are wedded to the truth, but like other married couples they sometimes live apart'

Short Stories include:

Reginald
Reginald in Russia
Gabriel-Ernest
Esmé
Tobermory
The Easter Egg
The Open Window
The Schartz-Metterklume Method
The Story-Teller
The Toys of Peace
The Interlopers
The Bull
And many more

HECTOR HUGH MUNRO
Born in Burma in 1870, H ector H ugh Munro, or Saki, ranks alongside de Maupassant and O. Henry as a master of the short story. Written in the period between Queen Victoris's death, and his own in the trenches in France in 1916, his witty tales of the adventures of the English upper class in Edwardian England were influential on the works of P.G. Wodehouse.
