This anthology of anthologies contains H. H. Munro's excellent
short stories, derived from a total of six compilations which were
published over the course of twenty years. Containing all of his
best regarded and famous short tales, as well as a sizeable host of
hidden gems and lesser-known treasures, this gigantic compendium is
comprehensive and certain to satisfy any fan of the author. The
sensual, tantalising and distinctly moral nature of the stories
usually rail against the stifling conventions of society - in the
end, the natural world (and people acting naturally) tend to come
out on top. The recognisable style with which Saki tells his tales
make their endings, which are usually surprising and witty, a
keynote feature of every story. Saki's ingrained wit and the
casually biting nature of the topics he chooses often leads certain
characters and the things they represent to ridicule, usually to
the great satisfaction of the reader.
