"Beasts and Super-Beasts" by Saki is a collection of short stories published in 1914. This volume showcases Saki's signature cynicism and wry humor through tales that largely feature animals, including the frequently anthologized "The Open Window." Several stories feature the recurring character Clovis Sangrail. As Saki's final collection before his death in World War I, the work displays the simple language and sardonic wit that defined his literary style, parodying George Bernard Shaw's title while delivering sharp social commentary.
