<p><b>'Three weeks later the world was advised of the coming of a new breakfast food, heralded under the resounding name of 'Filboid Studge''</b><br><br>H.H. Munro, better known by his pen name, Saki, wrote wickedly comic satires of upper-class Edwardian life. These seven short stories are macabre and extremely funny: they include a cat that is regrettably taught to speak, a vicious pet ferret worshipped as a god, a businessman triumphantly selling an unpalatable breakfast mush, and many dark twists and barbs.<br><br>This book includes <i>Filboid Studge, a Story of a Mouse That Helped</i>, <i>Todermory</i>, <i>Mrs. Packletide's Tiger</i>, <i>Sredni Vashtar</i>, <i>The Music on the Hill</i>, <i>The Recessional and The Cobweb</i>.</p>
