Beasts and Super-beasts (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781019382264)

Saki's signature collection of short stories is a witty and acerbic look at the absurdity of human nature. From talking animals to scheming aristocrats, the characters who populate these tales are uniformly ridiculous and entertaining. Despite their humor, however, many of the stories also carry a dark edge, exploring themes of cruelty, violence, and death. With its sharp writing and satirical tone, this collection is a true classic of British humor.
