I have just discovered Hector Hugh Munro, a British humourist who wrote under the pen name Saki. His Chronicles of Clovis (short story collection) is available for download. Probably some of his other works are too.

His stories are highly amusing, written in a style that's reminiscent of (but which pre-dates) P. G. Wodehouse. He also has a touch of O. Henry about him, and maybe a dash of Mark Twain.

If you like short, witty, satirical stories, give Saki a try, and let me know what you think of him.
