The Complete Saki

Saki, one of England's greatest Edwardian writers, is considered a graceful spokesperson for the country's 'Golden Afternoon' - a serene time before the outbreak of the First World War. Despite his premature death in action on the Western Front, his reputation as a writer has only grown over time. His oeuvre is known for its humor, satire, supernatural elements, and macabre themes, showcasing his unique style marked by eccentric wit and unconventional narratives. Renowned for his adept social satire of the upper-class Edwardian society, Saki stands out as a master of the short story genre and a prominent figure of a bygone era.
