{"product_id":"9781847497307","title":"Tobermory and Other Stories : Annotated Edition - Contains 29 stories by Saki","description":"`Tobermory' - the title story of this collection - is widely considered one of Saki's finest pieces, in which a short-sighted dinner-party guest introduces a talking cat to the diners, inadvertently revealing gossip and pushing fickle characters into the limelight - in the process undermining the common perceptions of grandiose and genteel high society.   From some of his earliest successes, such as `Gabriel-Ernest', `The Bag' and the Clovis stories, about a young man with an impish sense of humour, to later tales such as `The Boar-Pig', which is as bizarre as it is hilarious, and `The Toys of Peace', which he was never able to see in print, this selection contains a wealth of well-known tales with vastly different themes - from reincarnation to psychological warfare - and bearing every trademark token of wit with which Saki has enthralled generations of eager readers.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307835011445,"sku":"9781847497307","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847497307.jpg?v=1762805484","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781847497307","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
