This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.
Saki was called the Oscar Wilde of his day, and hailed as a master stylist. Using witty dialogue and macabre humor, he writes of mischievous young men, foolish aunts, and blood-thirsty beasts. His stories are surprisingly modern in their incongruous mixture of humor and horror. The first truly comprehensive edition of Saki’s voluminous output, The Complete Works of Saki includes six previously uncollected stories.
