The Penguin Complete Saki

1984

All the Wit, Verbal Brilliance, and Incisive Sophistication of a Master of Cutting Social Satire.  Macabre, acid, and very funny, Saki's work drives a knife into the upper crust of English Edwardian life.  Here are the effete and dashing heroes, Reginald, Clovis and Comus Bassington, and tea on the lawn with articulate duchesses, the smell of gunshot and the tinkle of caviar fork, and here is the half-seen half-felt menace of disturbing undercurrents...all in this magnificent omnibus edition.
