H.H. Munro (SAKI)
Hector Hugh Munro (Dec 18, 1870 - Nov 14, 1916) was a British author who published under the pen name Saki. He was a master of the short story often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker.

His most famous work is probably The Open Window and is highly recommended reading. His body of work holds many favorites and should be explored in entirety, but I also point the reader to The Toys of Peace where parents from Edwardian England are taught a familiar lesson.
