Saki''s Cats

English

By (author): Saki

Sakis Cats rounds up the tales about cats, big and small, by the undisputed master of the short story. Tobermory, one of Sakis most famous pieces, demonstrates the danger that would ensue from granting cats the power of speech animals have long lurked unseen, eavesdropping, in the background. The tom in The Philanthropist and the Happy Cat is the only one to enjoy his meal, as is the leopard in The Guests. In The Penance and Mrs Packletides Tiger, hunters who put cats in their sights are humiliated and blackmailed. The Achievement of the Cat considers how cats have come to be served by the human race. In addition to the short stories about cats, Sakis Cats also collects Sakis juvenile letters to his sister Ethel about the tiger cub he adopted while living in Burma. The feisty felines of these tales are the only clear winners, and, with a characteristic smirk and dash of his pen, it is Edwardian Society that Saki sends slinking off, tail between its legs.

About Saki

Hector Hugh Munro (18701916) known by his nom de plume Saki whose humorous writings are amongst the best known in the English literary canon is widely considered to be a master of the short-story genre. Although he also wrote longer works of fiction they are not nearly as popular as his short stories Tobermory The Schartz-Metterklume Method The Open Window The Storyteller The Lumber Room and Sredni Vashtar in particular enjoy a widespread readership even today. Saki also wrote extensively for the Westminster Gazette where he published political sketches such as the Westminster Alice series. Sakis death is almost as famous as his short stories he was a lance sergeant in the First World War and he was killed by a German sniper during the Battle of the Ancre while he and his company sheltered; his last words were reportedly: Put that bloody cigarette out!
