Saki Audio

Saki's world contrasts the effete conventions and hypocrisies of Edwardian England with the ruthless but straightforward life-and-death struggles of nature.

This is the third collection of short stories by Saki, following on from "Reginald" and "Reginald in Russia". Although some of the stories have characters that do not appear elsewhere in the collection, many of them are loosely centred round the young Clovis Sangrail (effectively a reincarnation of Reginald).

We have had many novels about alternate histories, often of the ‘What would have happened if Hitler had won the war' type and this is another – except that this one is set in 1913 and the ‘William' of the title is that old bogeyman ‘Kaiser Bill'.

The stories in this collection are from The Chronicles of Clovis (1911) and Beast and Superbeasts (1914)...
