Read more Saki!

I’ve published two books of Saki stories with introductions, explanatory notes etc.

The Complete Annotated Reginald Stories

This book is the only fully annotated edition of the collections Reginald (1904) and Reginald in Russia (1910). As well as explanatory notes on the manifold social, cultural, literary, political and historical references, it contains an introduction setting Saki’s work in its historical content, a chronology of his life, and suggestions for further reading.

Saki (H.H. Munro): Original and Uncollected Stories CoverSaki (H.H. Munro): Original and Uncollected Stories

This collection is the first of its kind to present Saki’s stories as they were originally published in newspapers and magazines, preserving their internal consistency and contemporary references lost in revisions for The Chronicles of Clovis and subsequent collected editions. A trove of annotations and carefully sourced bibliographical information illuminates the Edwardian context behind the thirteen selected stories, of which three (‘Mrs. Pendercoet’s Lost Identity’, ‘The Romance of Business’ and ‘The Optimist’) were only recently rediscovered.
