Download The Best of Saki - Volume 1 AudioBook Free
The delightful, biting wit of Saki's brief stories satirizing Edwardian high modern culture are a few of the funniest & most delightful delightful literary miniatures. In such a first size, there are 22 glittering samples. Saki was the pen name of Hector Hugh Monro. He was created in Burma in 1870, where his dad was a senior public in the Burma police force. From the age of two, he resided with two maiden aunts and his grandmother in Devon and was informed in Exmouth with the Bedford Grammar University. Later he traveled in Europe with his father. He joined up with the Burma police force but resigned following a yr because of sick health and returned to Great britain, where he commenced his writing profession as a journalist and brief story copy writer for mags and newspaper publishers. Saki is undoubtedly a professional of the brief story. In the beginning of the First World Warfare, he refused a fee, enlisted as an exclusive, and went to France, where, in November 1916, he was wiped out by a shot to the head, his last words being, "Put that bloody cigarette out."
