Everything in moderation.

  10. "This is a poor boy who has lost his way--and lost his memory. He doesn't know who he is or where he comes from," explained Van Cheele desperately, glancing apprehensively at the waif's face to see whether he was going to add inconvenient candour to his other savage propensities.

    To get an idea of Saki’s range, read “The Lumber Room” & “Sredni Vashtar”. Both stories feature small boys, domineering aunts, & revenge; one is very funny, & the other is wildly unsettling. “The Lumber Room” is in BEASTS & SUPER-BEASTS, & “Sredni Vashtar” is in THE CHRONICLES OF CLOVIS

    “Saki’s mother was killed by a cow when he was a child. If that doesn’t turn you into a writer with a morbid fascination with, and deep-seated fear of, the natural world, nothing will”

    “Children in Saki are often victors in the battle against authority; his stories salute their boldness but have no truck with sentiment. The children are usually nasty, brutish and short, and loved for it.”

  30. “In story after story, epicene young men, difficult children, or wild beasts set out to shake up the stifling complacency around them”

    Hector Hugh Munro (1870–1916) – Saki – was born #OTD, 18 Dec, in Myanmar. Although born in the Raj & raised in England, his parents were Scots & he considered himself to be a Scot, too. Fatema Ahmed looks at his fierce, funny, & wicked fiction
