“English–Australian narrator Rupert Degas has a grand time giving voice to Saki’s many tales of blustering, tyrannical aunts; mischievous children; and that most important of all English inventions—the twit…Degas is especially deft at accentuating the darker and more cynical tones in some of Saki’s best-known works…Satirical, sly, and sophisticated—listen closely, and you’ll hear why everyone from P. G. Wodehouse to Monty Python owes a huge debt of gratitude to this Edwardian comic genius. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

H.H. Munro (Saki) is one of the undisputed masters of the short story. In this complete compendium, the full gamut of his subjects and themes are experienced. His stories are imbued with humorous satire, biting irony and often the macabre, all of which have one target: the stupidities and hypocrisies of Edwardian upper-class society.
