Saki (December 18, 1870 – November 14, 1916) was the pen name of British author "Hector Hugh Munro", whose witty and sometimes macabre stories satirised Edwardian society and culture.
Saki is considered a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. His stories are always short and the good ones.
His story "The Open Window" may be his most famous, with a closing line ("Romance at short notice was her speciality") that has entered the lexicon. He also wrote several plays; a short novel "The Unbearable Bassington" (1912); and two novella-length satires, the episodic "The Westminster Alice" (1902, a Parliamentary parody of Alice in Wonderland), and "When William Came" (1914), subtitled "A Story of London Under the Hohenzollerns".
