The collection includes works by Hector Hugh Munro (Saki), an outstanding satirist of the turn of the 19th–20th centuries, a continuer of the tradition of English comic literature:
– “The Bull in the Parlour”
– “Filboid Studge”
– “The Hounds of Fate”
– “A Social Gathering for a Boar.”
Saki’s work had a profound influence on P. G. Wodehouse, R. Dahl, N. Coward, and other English writers.
