The Toys of Peace
Saki
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
This is the fifth collection of short stories by Saki (H.H. Munro), and was published posthumously in 1923. Even so, many of the stories are quite up to the standard of those collected earlier. (Summary by Graham Redman) (6 hr 59 min)

Reviews
An excellent book
Timothy Ferguson
