Hector Hugh Munro (1870–1916) wrote under the pen name Saki and is best known for his strange, mischievous and witty short stories.
Saki’s short stories may be more than 100 years old but that sharp
wit, precise uncompromising vocabulary, and championing of children
over unpleasant supervisory adults is timeless...And Quentin
Blake’s drawings make them livelier than ever.
*The Independent*
Quentin Blake's characteristically spiky illustrations capture the
Saki irony well and make these century-old tales feel very
fresh.
