About<\/strong> : 36 short stories in Saki’s final collection to be published before the First World War and his death. Each story, in one way or another, turns on the presence or role of an animal and its relationship to the humans in the narrative, acutely dissecting their foibles and pretensions.<\/p>\n

First Published in 1914 by John Lane, The Bodley Head
\nPublic Domain Text from Project Gutenberg<\/a><\/p>\n

Saki<\/a> (Hector Hugh Munro) was born in 1870 and killed by a sniper’s bullet in 1916. His acerbic and macabre short stories lampoon and satirise the mores of upper and middle class Edwardian British society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
