Hector Hugh Munro, known by his pen name Saki, was a British writer famous for his wit and satirical style. His short stories, often darkly humorous and full of social commentary, have endured as some of the finest examples of early 20th-century English literature. Munro's sharp observations of human nature, combined with his ability to make readers laugh while reflecting on society's flaws, inspire writers and readers alike to question the world with both intellect and humor.
