📢New Publication Alert!

'#Saki (H.H. Munro): Original and Uncollected Stories' edited by Bruce Gaston is out now! Discover 13 stories, including 3 newly rediscovered, presented as originally published.

The short stories of Hector Hugh #Munro, better known by his pen name #Saki, have remained in print continuously for over a hundred years.

📚This collection is the first of its kind to present his stories as they were originally published in #newspapers and #magazines, preserving their internal consistency and contemporary references lost in revisions for 'The Chronicles of Clovis' and subsequent collected editions.

A trove of annotations and carefully sourced bibliographical information illuminates the #Edwardian context behind the thirteen selected stories, of which three (‘Mrs. Pendercoet’s Lost Identity’, ‘The Romance of Business’ and ‘The Optimist’) were only recently rediscovered.
