The buttoned-up world of the British upper classes is exploded by the brilliance, wit and audacity of Saki's bomb-like stories.In 'The Open Window' an imaginative teenager gives a visitor the fright of his life.In 'The Unrest Cure' the ordered home of a respectable country gent is rocked to its core. And 'Laura' expresses the hope of revenge via reincarnation.For punchlines, twists, satire and pure mirth, Saki's stories are second-to-none.
