Meet Clovis, the Prankster!
“There was something alike terrifying and piteous in the spectacle of these frail old morsels of humanity consecrating their last flickering energies to the task of making each other wretched. Hatred seemed to be the one faculty which had survived in undiminished vigor where all else was dropping into ordered and symmetrical decay.” - Saki, The Chronicles of Clovis
The Chronicles of Clovis is a collection of short stories all centered on the main character Clovis Sangrail. Clovis is not your average young rich kid, nonchalant and arrogant. He likes to surprise doing bizarre things that many would not even imagine. Witness his pranks with a grain of salt and be amazed at the reactions of the people tricked.

However, the Kindle edition is so hard to read, that I must subtract two stars for the formatting.The Kindle edition is very hard to read because of the awkward line breaks and kerning. I believe the digitization of this book to have been untouched by human hands, with no proofreading at all. Some lines have four words evenly spaced out to each margin. In other instances, a hyphenated word will have an additional hyphen inserted midway to make a line break. Other pages have "widows or orphans", a solitary word on one page. Each time I encounter one of these, the eye and the brain go "Ker-thunk!" an it spoils the sense and rhythm of the story.Not worth even the low Kindle price; too many aggravations.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great Short Stories By Dave_42 This is the third collection of short stories by Saki, which was originally published in 1911. This collection includes 28 short stories which are very loosely centered on Clovis Sangrail (a somewhat mischievous upper-class youth), although there are several stories in the collection which are not linked at all to that character. Many of the stories are fable-like, but the mood of the stories varies greatly. Whatever dark, satirical, cynical, or just plain bizarre, each is a treat for the reader.All these stories are worthwhile, but some of my favorites are "Tobermory", "Sredni Vashtar", "The Music on the Hill", and "The Unrest-Cure" to name a few. The quality of the stories is high throughout the collection. This book appears to currently be out of print; however there are many free versions now available on the web. This is fortunate for everyone who wants to read his stories.Saki (the name came from the cupbearer in "The Rubayat" of Omar Khayyam) is the pseudonym of H. H. Munro (Dec. 18, 1870 - Nov. 13, 1916) a subject of the British Empire who was born in Burma the son of a Scottish military policeman. Sadly, Munro was killed in France while serving during World War I by a sniper.
