The Collected Short Stories of Saki

<p>'All decent people live beyond their incomes nowadays, and those who aren't respectable live beyond other people's'.</p> <p>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 <em>Sredni Vastor</em> and <em>The Unrest Cure</em>.</p> <p>'We all know that Prime Ministers are wedded to the truth, but like other married couples they sometimes live apart'</p>
