About the Stories

The buttoned-up world of the British upper classes is exploded by the brilliance, wit and audacity of Saki's bomb-like stories.

In The Open Window an imaginative teenager gives a visitor the fright of his life.

In The Unrest Cure the ordered home of a respectable country gent is rocked to its core.

And Laura expresses the hope of revenge via reincarnation.

For punchlines, twists, satire and pure mirth, Saki's stories are second-to-none.
