The Chronicles of Clovis

Renowned for his witty dialogue and macabre humor, Saki skewered the pretensions of the Ed-wardian age. These short stories recount the escapades of an irreverent socialite and showcase the author's mastery of comic repartee. Saki's satiric tales remain remarkably contemporary, of-fering paradoxical combinations of good-natured irony and cheerful cruelty.
