Saki

Hector Hugh Munro, known by the pen name Saki, was a British writer and journalist whose stories satirized Edwardian society and culture with a flippant wit and fantastic invention.
Born on December 18, 1870, in Burma (now Myanmar), Munro's work often highlighted social pretension, unkindness, and stupidity, creating an atmosphere of horror.
He is celebrated for his short stories, which were first published in newspapers and later compiled into several volumes.
Saki's writing style was influenced by authors such as Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, and Rudyard Kipling, and he in turn influenced writers like A. A. Milne, Noël Coward, and P. G. Wodehouse.
