Classic Saki Stories

  Classic Saki Stories by Saki (H. H. Munro)

Saki was a British satirist in the early 20th century.  This collection of short stories center around animals, including mice in the underwear, a cat that learns to talk, and an ox in the drawing room.  Some stories are more amusing than others, like a family with unmarried daughters accidentally selling their crazy horse to the newest eligible bachelor.  But these are not laugh-out-loud stories; they are written in typical British style.
