The Complete Stories of Saki

This is an alternate cover edition for 1853260711

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 Chekov 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. Among the short stories, Sredni Vastar and The Unrest Cure are well-known classics, and this volume also contains all Saki's novels and plays.
