~ 1870 - 1916
H. H. Munro, also known by his pen name Saki, was a British author and playwright born on December 18, 1870, in Akyab, Burma. He is best known for his witty, sometimes macabre short stories, which often satirize Edwardian society and its conventions. Munro's most famous works include "The Interlopers" and "The Open Window," and he was notable for his mastery of irony and intricate plots before his untimely death in 1916.
