Exploring the interplay between humans and animals, this collection features short stories that reflect Saki's signature cynicism and wry humor. First published in 1914, it includes notable works like "The Open Window," which remains popular in anthologies. As Saki's final compilation before his death in World War I, the stories blend simple language with sharp observations, making it a significant part of his literary legacy. The title cleverly parodies George Bernard Shaw's work, highlighting Saki's playful engagement with contemporary themes.
