Description
Enter a world of Edwardian wit and cruelty where the savage nature of animals often mirrors the behavior of polite society. These short stories are masterpieces of brevity and satire, introducing readers to mischievous children, talking cats, and the absurdity of social conventions. The humor is sharp, often dark, and deployed with a precise command of language that exposes the hypocrisy of the upper classes. It is a delightful yet biting collection that finds comedy in the unexpected and the macabre.
