Extractions: THE OPEN WINDOW by Hector Hugh Munro "Saki" Saki was the pen-name of Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916) a British political journalist who worked in Russia and France. He published several volumes of short stories which show an understanding of children and of young people who play cleverly and sometimes maliciously on the feelings of their elders. For Graham Greene, Munro was the best English humourist of the twentieth century. Munro's mother died when he was born, so he was sent to England to be brought up by two maiden old aunts who turned his life into a real misery. Greene states that this unhappy childhood is the key to the cruelty in almost all his short stories. This is the case of THE OPEN WINDOW... The Open Window La Ventana Abierta 'My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel,' said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; 'in the meantime you must try and put up with me.'

Extractions: HECTOR HUGH MUNRO was a Scot, born in Burma, and, like Kipling, was sent back to England at an early age to be brought up by two strict aunts. In his early twenties he returned to India and worked there with the Burma Military Police. He had always been delicate, and thirteen months in Burma weakened him so dangerously that he was obliged to return once more to England. His health recovered, he wrote "Alice in Westminster"political sketches in the Lewis Carroll style, published in the Westminster Gazette ; and later, during six years as foreign correspondent in Russia and the Balkans, he wrote and sent back to England many of the humorous short stories by which he is best remembered. His pseudonym was Saki, cupbearer in the Saki had a rare sense of humor, and his stories, like himself, are full of high spirits, wit, and urbanity. "The empty glass we turn down for him," said Christopher Morley, "is the fragile hollow-stemmed goblet meant for dryest champagne: it is of the finest." Message Board Back to Classic Short Stories

Extractions: STORY PAGE About the author of our story. SAKI The Open Window "My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel," said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; "in the meantime you must try and put up with me." Framton Nuttel endeavoured to say the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come. Privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a succession of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing. "I know how it will be," his sister had said when he was preparing to migrate to this rural retreat; "you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever from moping. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there. Some of them, as far as I can remember, were quite nice." Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction, came into the nice division. "Do you know many of the people round here?" asked the niece, when she judged that they had had sufficient silent communion.

Extractions: Scottish-born writer whose stories satirize the Edwardian social scene, often in a macabre and cruel fashion. Munro's columns and short stories were published under the pen name 'Saki', who was the cupbearer in The Rabaoyat of Omar Khayyam , an ancient Persian poem. Saki's stories were full of witty epithets - such as "The cook was a good cook, as cooks go; and as cooks go she went." - and included coded references to homosexuality. "A little inaccuracy sometimes saves tons of explanations." (from The Square Egg, 1924) Hector Hugh Munro was born in Akyab, Burma (now Myamar) the son of Charles Augustus Munro, an inspector-general for the Burma police. His mother, the former Mary Frances Mercer, died in 1872 - she was killed by a runaway cow in an English country lane. Munro was brought up in England with his brother and sister by a pair of strict aunts who frequently used the birch and the whip. Munro was educated at Pencarwick School in Exmoth and the Bedford Grammar School. From 1887 he travelled in France, Germany and Switzerland with his family. In 1891 his father settled in Devon where he worked as a teacher. In 1893 Munro joined the Burma police. He returned to England three years later and started his career as a journalist, writing for

Extractions: Munro, Hector Hugh Saki, pseudonym of HECTOR HUGH MUNRO , British writer, born in Burma (now known as Myanmar), and educated in England. In 1894 he joined the editorial staff of the London newspaper Westminster Gazette for which he wrote a series of lightly satirical political sketches reminiscent of the writings of the English author Lewis Carroll. The highly popular articles were collected as The Westminster Alice (1902). He enlisted in the British army at the outbreak of World War I and was killed in action in France. Saki is best known as a writer of short stories, many of which have fantastic settings and characters. They are distinguished by an urbane wit and delicate, often biting irony. A collected edition, the Short Stories of Saki, was posthumously published in 1930. Among his other published works are the novels The Unbearable Bassington (1912) and When William Came (1913).
