A LIST OF PUBLICATIONS BY MUNRO/SAKI
The following are reviews, satires (in prose and verse; often with illustrations), sketches, stories, plays, and novels published by H. H. Munro or Saki. Not included are Munro’s news reports, as a foreign correspondent, for the Morning Post, 1902-07, a report for MP on May 5, 1914, and five letters to the editor (in MP and WG). In some instances—mostly for the stories published in MP after 1909, as those issues have not been digitized and put online by the British Newspaper Archives—the information comes from other sources, in particular Lora Sifurova and Bruce Gaston (my thanks to them both). Notably, seven sketches and stories rediscovered in 2021 by Lora Sifurova, and available to read at https://independent.academia.edu/ЛораСифурова, are included.
