About this listen

Step into the witty, unsettling, and delightfully ironic world of Saki (H.H. Munro), one of the sharpest voices in Edwardian literature. This classic collection gathers his most memorable and darkly humorous short stories, including The Music on the Hill, The Unrest-Cure, Gabriel-Ernest, and the widely loved The Open Window.

Saki's tales are known for their unexpected twists, elegant prose, and subtle satire of British society, often exposing the absurdities behind genteel manners and upper-class conventions. His characters—sometimes mischievous, sometimes monstrous—leave a lasting impression with their razor-sharp wit and unpredictable actions.

This volume is a perfect introduction to Saki's unique storytelling style, blending comedy with the macabre, sophistication with the surreal. Whether you're encountering his work for the first time or returning to a favorite classic, this collection offers a timeless exploration of human folly and social satire at its finest.
