About The Author: Hector Hugh Munro (1870–1916), widely recognized by his pen name Saki, and also frequently referred to as H. H. Munro, was a British writer renowned for his sharp, mischievous, and at times darkly humorous stories that serve as satirical commentary on Edwardian society and its culture. Renowned for his mastery of the short story format, he is often likened to literary figures like O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Saki drew inspiration from the works of Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, and Rudyard Kipling, and in turn, left an indelible influence on writers such as A. A. Milne, Noël Coward, and P. G. Wodehouse.
