Buch Details

'Three weeks later the world was advised of the coming of a new breakfast food, heralded under the resounding name of 'Filboid Studge". 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. This book includes "Filboid Studge", "a Story of a Mouse That Helped", "Todermory", "Mrs. Packletide's Tiger", "Sredni Vashtar", "The Music on the Hill", "The Recessional" and "The Cobweb".
