The Toys of Peace and other papers edition by Saki Literature Fiction eBooks
Saki was one of A. A. Milne's favourites, and this speaks volumes for his quality & is enough reason alone for you to pick him up. There's a rather lovely Edwardian sensibility to his work although with the benefit of history, the clouds of the Great War loom on the horizon of several of the short stories. Well worth keeping on your Kindle to repeatedly dip into.The "Folio Society" editions of his work are very well made, often available 2nd-hand via Amazon & are fine additions to any library.(NB This review is appended unaltered to other public domain Saki works)

The Toys of Peace and other papers edition by Saki Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Marvellous read.
"Comedy of manners" type stuff à la Wodehouse/Jeeves but sharp in it's satire and episodic in it's structure so great to dip in and out of.
Chucklesworth.
Known for his sharp wit and sharper sense of irony, Saki's works are almost always timeless and to the point, but this last set written on the brink of a war that would see him stupidly dead is largely lacking in his usual tone. Far heavier and nowhere near as pleasantly insightful, only a few of the tales meet his usual standard. A must for the collector but not for the casual reader.
