'Three weeks later the world was advised of the coming of a new breakfast food, heralded under the resounding name of 'Filboid Studge'' H.H. Munro, better known by his pen name, Saki, wrote wickedly comic satires of upper-class Edwardian life. These seven short stories are macabre and extremely funny: they include a cat that is regrettably taught to speak, a vicious pet ferret worshipped as a god, a businessman triumphantly selling an unpalatable breakfast mush, and many dark twists and barbs. This book includes Filboid Studge, a Story of a Mouse That Helped, Todermory, Mrs. Packletide's Tiger, Sredni Vashtar, The Music on the Hill, The Recessional and The Cobweb.

Hector Hugh Munro, conocido por su pseudónimo literario \"Saki\", nació en Akyab, Birmania, en 1870. Tras enviudar, su padre le mandó a Inglaterra en 1873, donde fue educado por su abuela y sus tías, algo que marcaría su infancia y que determinaría su posterior visión literaria del mundo de los adultos contemplado por los ojos de los niños (algo obvio en \"El desván\"). Comenzó muy pronto a trabajar como periodista. Escribió una obra de teatro, dos piezas de un solo acto y una novela, \"El insoportable Bassington\". Pero su fama se debe a sus relatos, recogidos en varios volúmenes.
