Editorial Reviews
“English–Australian narrator Rupert Degas has a grand time giving voice to Saki’s many tales of blustering, tyrannical aunts; mischievous children; and that most important of all English inventions—the twit…Degas is especially deft at accentuating the darker and more cynical tones in some of Saki’s best-known works…Satirical, sly, and sophisticated—listen closely, and you’ll hear why everyone from P. G. Wodehouse to Monty Python owes a huge debt of gratitude to this Edwardian comic genius. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
