Résumé

"Beasts and Super-Beasts" is a collection of short stories written by Saki, published in 1914. It is one of Saki's most well-known works, along with "The Chronicles of Clovis." The stories in this collection often revolve around animals, hence the title. The book features the character Clovis Sangrail from Saki's previous works. Many of the stories were previously published in periodicals. Stylistically, the book showcases Saki's simple language, cynicism, and wry humor. It includes stories like "The Open Window," which is frequently reprinted in anthologies. The collection consists of 32 stories, including "The She-Wolf," "The Boar-Pig," and "The Lumber Room." "Beasts and Super-Beasts" is Saki's final collection before his death in World War I.
