Here is "The Short Stories of SAKI (H. H. Munro). It is the 1951 First Modern Library Edition, and has the Introduction by Christopher Morley, and a brief Biography of Saki by Ethel M. Munro (Saki's sister). The end-papers were designed by Rockwell Kent. SAKI shares with O'Henry the honor of being one of the unmistakable masters of the genre of the short story. The following was copied from Wikipedia: "H. H. Munro, was a British writer whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirise Edwardian society and culture. He is considered to be a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Influenced by Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, Munro himself influenced A. A. Milne, Noël Coward and P. G. Wodehouse." SERIES : The Modern Library TITLE : The Short Stories of SAKI (H. H.
