Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Saki was one of A. A. Milne's favourites, and this speaks volumes for his quality & is enough reason alone for you to pick him up. There's a rather lovely Edwardian sensibility to his work although with the benefit of history, the clouds of the Great War loom on the horizon of several of the short stories. Well worth keeping on your Kindle to repeatedly dip into.The "Folio Society" editions of his work are very well made, often available 2nd-hand via Amazon & are fine additions to any library.(NB This review is appended unaltered to other public domain Saki works)

The Toys of Peace and Other Papers Saki 9781290930291 Books Reviews
Marvellous read.
"Comedy of manners" type stuff à la Wodehouse/Jeeves but sharp in it's satire and episodic in it's structure so great to dip in and out of.
Chucklesworth.
Known for his sharp wit and sharper sense of irony, Saki's works are almost always timeless and to the point, but this last set written on the brink of a war that would see him stupidly dead is largely lacking in his usual tone. Far heavier and nowhere near as pleasantly insightful, only a few of the tales meet his usual standard. A must for the collector but not for the casual reader.
