Reviews for The Saki Megapack

[isabelx_21 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The Chronicles of Clovis (4 stars)"Is your maid called Florence ?""Her name is Florinda.""What an extraordinary name to give a maid!""I did not give it to her; she arrived in my service already christened.""What I mean is," said Mrs Riversedge, "that when I get maids with unsuitable names I call them Jane; they soon get used to it.""An excellent plan," said the aunt of Clovis coldly; "unfortunately I have got used to being called Jane myself. Ithappens to be my name."Some of my favourite Saki stories are in this collection, including Tobermory, Sredni Vashta, The Music on the Hill and The Secret Sin of Septimus Brope.But there are also some weaker stories that I don't like much at all, including The Chapelet and Wratislav.The Toys of Peace and other Stories. . . and others
