«El desván y otros relatos» is the short story collection by Saki (Hector Hugh Munro), published by Bruguera in paperback, in Spanish.
Saki's stories combine acid humour, English customs and fantasy: mischievous children, cats that speak with sarcasm and everyday scenes lead to the unexpected. The stories range from laughter to astonishment or a chill, with irony and precision.
Translation by Marcelo Cohen and illustrations by Mabel Álvarez. The edition is from 1982 and belongs to Bruguera's Todolibro collection (no. 103).
For readers of short stories who enjoy Saki's acid humour, irony and fantasy.
Hector Hugh Munro, popularly known by his pen name Saki and also frequently as H. H. Munro, was a British writer whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirise Edwardian society and culture. He is considered to be a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Influenced by Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, Munro himself influenced A. A. Milne, Noël Coward and P. G. Wodehouse.
