    Saki (December 18, 1870 - November 14, 1916) was the clever pen name of British author Hector Hugh Munro. Renowned for his sharp wit and peculiar storytelling, Sakis short stories offer a satirical lens on Edwardian culture. Often likened to literary luminaries such as O. Henry, Dorothy Parker, and influenced by the likes of Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde, Saki is celebrated as a master of the short story form. His first collection, Reginald, was published by Methuen Press in 1904, featuring tales that originally graced the pages of the Westminster Gazette. Through the jaded yet insightful character of Reginald, Saki critiques the absurdities and pretensions of the upper-class society of his time—attitudes that resonate just as strongly today. With timeless humor that captivates audiences nearly a century later, Sakis work remains as delightful and sharp as ever. (Summary by Jason Xanthopoulos).
