"Saki" (Hector Hugh Munro)

Does anyone besides myself appreciate this author?

I had a free moment in the classroom the other day and found "The Story Teller" in the 8th grade lit book.

I had read the story before (plus many others) but for some reason this time around the ongoing wisecracks in the author's writing were even more entertaining than the plot.

Another good one is "The Open Window". He is too funny.
