Creators: Saki (1870-1916) and A. A. Milne (1882-1956) [Author of introduction, etc.] "The Chronicles of Clovis" by Saki is a collection of short stories published in 1911. This volume features 28 tales set in Edwardian England, many centered on the witty and mischievous dandy Clovis Sangrail. The stories showcase Saki's trademark blend of sharp humor, social satire, and occasional darkness, depicting privileged characters navigating country-house parties, practical jokes, and absurd situations.
