Summary: Read by Graeme Dunlop. Listen above or download the MP3 Show Notes Today I wanted to present The Loot of Bombasharna by Lord Dunsany. However, I didn’t check the copyrights well enough. Lord Dunsany’s works are only in the Public Domain in the US, and certainly not in the UK and Australia. My apologies. However, another very well-known writer was Hector Hugh Munro who used the pen-name “Saki”. Today we present his story The Name-Day. Saki’s works frequently satirised Edwardian society and culture and often had a mischievous twist, sometimes leaning toward the bizarre. An example of the mischievous is Down Pens, a story about the trials of responding to gift-givers with notes of gratitude, for politeness’ sake. You can find out more about Saki at the ultimate arbiter of absolute truth, Wikipedia. Discuss Click here to discuss in the forums
