'''H.H. (Hector Hugh) Munro''' (1870-1916), better known by his pen name '''Saki''', was a British writer of over 100 short stories, three novels (''[[The Unbearable Bassington]]'', ''[[When William Came]]'', and ''[[The Westminster Alice]]''), and three plays (''[[The Death-Trap,]]'', ''[[Karl-Ludwig's Window]]'', and ''[[The Watched Pot]]''). Full of [[Deadpan Snarker|sarcasm]], wit, and [[Black Comedy]], the influence of [[Oscar Wilde]] shows through in his work-- —and he, in turn, is a major influence on writers like [[P. G. Wodehouse|PG Wodehouse]] and [[Dorothy Parker]].
