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 is 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.

Another reviewer called this collection of gems, “Wodehouse with Teeth”, an appraisal with which I heartily agree. Where Bertie shrinks from doing the things that aren’t done, the comedy here begins when Reginald or Clovis (or any of the other myriad characters) spring to the task.

But there’s another aspect of these stories that struck me: though the longest of them clocks in at just over 22 minutes, most of the situations would present Oscar Wilde with enough material for a full-length play. As a result, these brief stories are so jam-packed with lines you don’t want to miss, that after two or three I had to stop to catch my breath.

The final stories reveal another string to Saki’s bow. More serious and reflective, they deal with current events, from the Balkan Wars or 1912-1913 to the trenches where he served until his death on the Somme in 1916. Yet even on the Western Front, he could find grist for his delightfully sardonic mill.

Whoever cast Rupert Degas for this assignment knew their business. Be the tone of the story what it may, he's spot-on perfect.
