Saki
Saki, pseudonym of Hector Hugh Munro (1870–1916), known principally for his short stories. Between 1902 and 1908 he was correspondent for the Morning Post in Poland, Russia, and Paris. His first characteristic volume of short stories, Reginald, was published under the pseudonym Saki (of uncertain origin) in 1904, followed by Reginald in Russia (1910), The Chronicles of Clovis (1911), Beasts and Super-Beasts (1914), The Toys of Peace (1919), and The Square Egg (1924). The Unbearable Bassington (1912) and When William Came (1913) are both novels. In 1914 he enlisted as a trooper and he was killed in France. His stories include the satiric, the comic, the macabre, and the supernatural, and show a marked interest in the use of animals as agents of revenge upon mankind.
