Saki (Hector Hugh Munro, 1870-1916) was an English novelist and journalist. His pseudonym means "cupbearer" in Farsi. Saki's short satirical stories are distinguished by their subtle humour, perfect phrasing, sophisticated dialogue and somewhat cynical irony. These fascinating stories introduce readers to Edwardian English society in all its diversity, revealing the unusual, sometimes grotesque, absurd or even mystical aspects of an apparently everyday and prosperous existence.
