Product Description

Product Description

Saki is considered by many as perhaps the most graceful spokesman for England's "golden afternoon" - the slow and peaceful years before World War I. This volume contains the whole of his work, including all the short stories, his three novels and three plays.

A friend recommended "The Interlopers" and I had to buy the complete works for this one story. I am reading the book from start to finish and have not yet reached "The Interlopers", each story is so enjoyable that I am dreading the day I finish the book.

Saki's wit and observations on society are extremely funny and have me laughing out loud. I particularly like Clovis who has a great attitude to life and enjoys it immensely, often at the expense of others!

I find the book very hard to put down as I keep thinking "I'll just read one more". I only wish that Saki was able to carry on writing and entertaining us. I would love to know what he makes of the 21st century!

Just finished reading a 30-year old Dell paperback of Mr. Munro's stories, and I want more! Wit, irony, sarcasm: just think that his stories are plus or minus 100 years old, and he still is funny, horrifying, stunning, and right on the mark! After reading the Dell paperback, and writing this little review, I'm going back to the Amazon shopping cart and purchasing the complete works. In paperback, unfortunately. Ah, such is life....

Ostentatiously funny and a brilliant display of wit. A delight to read again and again over a cup of tea on the front lawn.
