Description: Reginald, by H.H. Munro (Saki). 2008 Hardcover. Like New. Saki was the pen name of British author Hector Hugh Munro, a witty, often macabre writer. This first collection of short stories is itself extremely short; twenty or so in under forty pages in this edition. Most of them are not really stories, but little anecdotes, providing context for a witty remark from effete, advanced and cynical Reginald. These include what is probably Saki’s most famous phrase: “She was a good cook, as cooks go, and as cooks go, she went.” The purpose of these vignettes is to satirize society. This is done as much through the character of Reginald as it is through what he says and does. He is a product of high society, and yet something of an outsider in that he does not take it seriously. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
