<p>'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'</p>

<p>Saki's (Hector Hugh Munro under a pen name) stories are beautifully varnished, taut pieces of writing, resolving on a twist at the last sentence. They reflect the manners and attitudes of the Edwardian society, from the point of view of the sardonic insider, and are at times marked by shades of black humour. This collection presents some his most popular stories, like 'The Open Window', 'The Hounds of Fate' and 'The Unrest Cure'.</p>
