HTML: The Saki Megapack assembles no less than 140 works by H. H. Munro, who also wrote under the name "Saki." Munro influenced such later talents as P. G. Wodehouse. Included in this volume are both of Munro's novels, The Unbearable Basington and When William Came, plus the short story collections The Chronicles Of Clovis, The Toys Of Peace, Reginald, Reginald In Russia, and Beasts And Superbeasts. In addition, 5 rare stories are also added, Clovis on the Alleged Romance of Business, The Comments of Moung Ka, The Gala Programme, The Infernal Parliament, and The Square Egg. .No library descriptions found. |

But there are also some weaker stories that I don't like much at all, including The Chapelet and Wratislav.
