This volume contains the whole of his work, including all the short stories, his three novels and three plays.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I absolutely adore the short stories of Saki. The characters he creates and the sly jabs at human nature make his work a must read! Whilst the era might have chnaged, the manner in which people behave has not, and the stories will still appeal to you they are so timeless and unique.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Saki is great.  His stories combine the wit of Wilde with a savage bleakness. Satire and dark humor almost never get any better. I perhaps wouldn't read the whole thing again, but the better known short stories and <em>The Unbearable Bassington</em> absolutely must not be missed.]]></body>

I laughed so hard I almost peeded my pants (it didn't help that we'd stopped at a pub first).  <br/><br/>Saki wrote witty little stories about Edwardian society that sometimes, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24827600">more...</a>]]></body>
