What Do I Read Next?
For more of Saki's works, refer to The Penguin Complete Saki, released by Penguin Books in 1982, originally by Doubleday in 1976. This collection includes Saki's short stories, novels, and plays.
E. M. Forster, a contemporary of Saki, is also famous for his satirical depictions of the English middle and upper classes. His piece, "The Story of a Panic," featured in The Celestial Omnibus, is a notable example of his writing.
Similar to Saki, O. Henry is renowned for his mastery of irony and surprise endings. His short story "The Gift of the Magi" is well-known for its unexpected and ironic conclusion.
P. G. Wodehouse is celebrated for his humorous tales of English upper-class life, particularly those compiled in The World of Jeeves.
Another tall tale, reminiscent of the one narrated by Mrs. Sappleton's niece, is Mark Twain's "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," published in 1865.
