description: Saki was the pen name of British author Hector Hugh Munro whose witty and sometimes macabre stories satirised Edwardian society and culture. 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. Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward are the kind of figures that Reginald brings to mind; Wilde was clearly an influence on Saki and Coward who wrote the introduction to the collected edition of his work was an admirer.
