    Tricky business, winning an argument when your opposite number remains challengingly silent.

    Saki delights as usual.

    What's better than a good story to keep children entertained? A better option, it turns out, is an improper story. You have been warned.

  • The Schartz-Metterklume Method - a short story, by Saki
    Mar 6 2026

    Please feel free to send me a text message.

    Saki pokes yet more fun at Edwardian society, and children's education in particular. In Lady Carlotta, we meet something of a free spirit in an era of otherwise strict social codes.

    A talking cat? That shouldn't be so very challenging. Surely ..

    In one of Saki's finest stories the humour and the gentle digs at Edwardian society are very evident.

  • The Tell-Tale Heart - a short story, by Edgar Allan Poe
    Mar 5 2026

    Please feel free to send me a text message.

    One of Edgar Allan Poe's finest. Certainly one of his best known, if not best loved, short stories. It is a challenge to us to keep a clear conscience .. and a warning as to what befalls us if we cannot. Warning: horror and gory detail; what else should we expect from EAP?
