Saki is perhaps the most graceful spokesman for England's'Golden Afternoon'- the slow and peaceful years before the First World War.Although,like so many of his generation,he died tragically young,in action on the Western Front,his reputation as a writer continued to grow long after his death.The stories are humorous,satiric,supernatural,and macabre,highly individual,full of eccentric wit and unconventional situations.With his great gift as a social satirist of his contemporaryupper-class Edwardian world,Saki is one of the few undisputed English masters of the short story.
