Beasts and Super-Beasts
by Saki from 1914
About
Saki's (H. H. Munro's) second major story collection contains 'Sredni Vashtar,' 'The Open Window,' 'The Schartz-Metterklume Method,' and 'The She-Wolf' — stories that combine Edwardian upper-class manners with sudden violence, supernatural menace, and a devastating wit that makes them among the most perfectly constructed short stories in English. The child protagonists of the best stories are terrifying instruments of retribution against adult complacency. As group reading, Saki's brief, perfectly plotted stories (10-20 minutes each) are ideal.
