Description
Gabriel-Ernest is a haunting short story about a were-wolf's terrible deed. Originally published in 1910, this early work by Hector Hugh Munro has been republished with a brand new introductory biography. Hector Hugh Munro was born in Burma and raised in North Devon, England, before returning to Burma as a young man. He later returned to England, where he began his career as a journalist, becoming known for his satirical sketches that appeared in the Westminster Gazette under his pen name, 'Saki'. Munro is now considered a master of the short story, with tales like 'The Open Window' regarded as examples of the form at its finest. This edition features 18 pages of Munro's original work, presented in paperback.
