Munro, a British writer of short stories and novels. Munro was born in Burma to well-to-do parents. His father was a colonel in the British military police there.

At 23, Munro himself joined the military police in Burma. He enjoyed the exotic animals and even kept a pet tiger cub. Munro remained in Burma for only one year, returning to England after being stricken with malaria. The Writing Life Back in England, Munro decided to become a writer and adopted the pseudonym Saki, which he borrowed from the cupbearer to the gods, a character in Edward FitzGerald's Rubiyat of Omar Khayyam . He later became a foreign correspondent. He covered a war in the Balkans and traveled throughout Europe. In 1909, he returned to England to devote himself to writing fiction. When World War I broke out, Munro enlisted almost immediately. During a night march in 1916, he was shot and killed by a German sniper.

Return to ShortStories Home Page THE children were to be driven, as a special http://www.geocities.com/short_stories_page/sakilumberroom.html

The Lumber Room By Saki [Hector H. Munro] "You said there couldn't possibly be a frog in my bread-and-milk; there was a frog in my bread-and-milk," he repeated, with the insistence of a skilled tactician who does not intend to shift from favourable ground. So his boy-cousin and girl-cousin and his quite uninteresting younger brother were to be taken to Jagborough sands that afternoon and he was to stay at home. His cousins' aunt, who insisted, by an unwarranted stretch of imagination, in styling herself his aunt also, had hastily invented the Jagborough expedition in order to impress on Nicholas the delights that he had justly forfeited by his disgraceful conduct at the breakfast-table. It was her habit, whenever one of the children fell from grace, to improvise something of a festival nature from which the offender would be rigorously debarred; if all the children sinned collectively they were suddenly informed of a circus in a neighbouring town, a circus of unrivalled merit and uncounted elephants, to which, but for their depravity, they would have been taken that very day. A few decent tears were looked for on the part of Nicholas when the moment for the departure of the expedition arrived. As a matter of fact, however, all the crying was done by his girl-cousin, who scraped her knee rather painfully against the step of the carriage as she was scrambling in.
