The works of "Saki" (H.H. Munro)

Published in 1913, just one year before the outbreak of the 1914-18 war this futuristic novel takes as its story the premise that Germany have recently won a European war and were now in occupation of England. Seen through the eyes of a retired military officer the book chronicles life in England under the German occupying forces and the various reactions the British public have to this situation.

Two collections of short stories featuring one of Saki's most endearing creations, a young man about town who appears to take great delight in the discomfiture of his overbearing or pretentious elders.

Leonard Bilsiter was one of those people who have failed to find this world attractive or interesting, and who have sought compensation in an unseen world of their own experience or imagination - or invention. Children do that sort of thing successfully, but children are content to convince themselves, and do not vulgarise their beliefs by trying to convince other people. Leonard Bilsiter's beliefs were for the few, that is to say, anyone who would listen to him.
