Description
Saki's stories are a unique blend of humour, satire and the supernatural, set against the backdrop of England's 'Golden Afternoon'. Written by a master of social commentary, these highly individual tales offer eccentric wit and unconventional situations.
Published in 2000, this collection showcases Saki's great gift as a writer, capturing the essence of his contemporary upper-class Edwardian world. With its blend of macabre and humorous elements, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the short story form.
