description: Born in Burma in 1870, Scottish writer H.H. Munro (his pseudonym is from FitzGerald's  Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam) satirized the social conventions, cruelty and foolishness of the Edwardian era with a highly readable blend of flippant humor and outrageous inventiveness, often overlaid with a mood of horror.
