The Complete Short Stories of Saki

The buttoned-up world of the British upper classes is exploded by the brilliance, wit and audacity of Saki''s bomb-like stories. In ''The Open Window'' an imaginative teenager gives a visitor the fright of his life. In ''The Unrest Cure'' the ordered home of a respectable country gent is rocked to its core. And ''Laura'' expresses the hope of revenge via reincarnation. For punchlines, twists, satire and pure mirth, Saki''s stories are second-to-none.>
