The Best of Saki (Collector's Library)
Author(s): Hector Hugh Munro
Saki (H H Munro) stands alongside Chekhov & O Henry as a master of the short story. His extraordinary stories are a mixture of humourous statire, irony and the macabre in which the stupidities and hypocrisy of conventional society are viciously pilloried. This collection includes Sredni Bastar, Tobermory, Excepting Mrs Pentherby and The Unrest Cure.
