The table below (still a work in progress) shows where and in which publication each of Munro’s stories was published. Moreover, it also indicates who the story was credited to (‘Saki’, H.H. Munro or some other variant thereof) and whether the story was later collected for a book edition.
You can adjust the order to show, for example, all stories in a particular collection, or first printed in a particular newspaper.
