About this product
Product Information
In these macabre, acid and very funny short stories, Saki drives a knife into the upper crust of English Edwardian life. Here we meet in particular two of his most brilliant creations, the self-possessed Clovis and the vain and supremely stylish Reginald. There is tea on the lawn, the smell of gunshot , the tinkle of the caviar fork and beneath it all the half-seen, half-felt menace lying beneath the polished surface of society.Product Identifiers

Encomium with reservations.
It's a jolly good book and a complete anthology. But no encomium, however eulogistic, could include the aphorism "value for money".Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
