Transcribed from the 1911 Methuen & Co. (third) edition by David Price. Proofing by Margaret and David Price "Reginald" by Saki (H.H. Munro) is a collection of short stories written during the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of Edwardian society, the book explores the humorous and often satirical observations of the protagonist, Reginald, as he interacts with various characters in his life. The central theme revolves around social conventions, the absurdities of social engagements, and the whimsical nature of human behavior. In this collection, Reginald navigates a range of scenarios, from garden parties and Christmas festivities to discussions about art, literature, and the complexities of life. His sharp wit and irreverent demeanor often lead to chaotic yet comedic situations, exposing the folly of those around him and highlighting the eccentricities of upper-class society. Throughout the stories, Reginald's reflections on the triviality of social norms and his disdain for pretense serve as a vehicle for Saki's commentary on human nature and societal expectations, creating a delightful blend of humor and insight that continues to resonate with readers today.
