Hector Hugh Munro was a prolific British writer who worked in a variety of literary genres. Under the pen name Saki, he produced a series of plays and tales, many of which center around a sophisticated bon vivant called Clovis who delights in skewering the pretensions of his elders with a rapier-like wit. The stories collected in The Chronicles of Clovis will delight fans of P.G. Wodehouse, Rudyard Kipling, and Oscar Wilde.
