H.H. Munro & H.H. Munro 
The Complete Works of Saki (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading) 

Saki was called the Oscar Wilde of his day, and hailed as a master stylist. Using witty dialogue and macabre humor, he writes of mischievous young men, foolish aunts, and blood-thirsty beasts. His stories are surprisingly modern in their incongruous mixture of humor and horror. The first truly comprehensive edition of Sakis voluminous output,
The Complete Works of Saki includes six previously uncollected stories.
