Welcome to a story within a story in this funny short story by Hector Hugh "Saki" Munro. "The Open Window" is probably Saki's most well-known work, a humorous, tongue-in-cheek short story by one of the greatest short story writers of all time.
Saki was a British writer and journalist who lived from 1870 to 1916 and is known for his witty and sometimes macabre stories, very often satirizing "Edwardian society" and culture.
He wrote over 200 stories and 14 novels, as well as numerous essays, plays, and children's books.

I hope you enjoy listening to "The Open Window", a story that shows Saki's fine irony, and his "trademark" twist ending.
