This etext was prepared from the 1910 Methuen and Co. edition by Jane Duff; proofed by David Price "Reginald in Russia, and Other Sketches" by Saki is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book features the character Reginald, who navigates the quirks and contradictions of society, particularly in relation to his encounters in Russia. Through a mix of humor and sharp social commentary, the stories explore the clash between cultures and the absurdities of human behavior. At the start of the collection, Reginald appears in a Russian Princess's salon, where he observes and critiques the peculiarities of his surroundings, including the decor and the princess's opinions. He engages in witty banter, revealing both his frivolous nature and a keen insight into social injustice. The exchanges between Reginald and the Princess highlight cultural misunderstandings and the inherent contradictions in their worldviews, paving the way for a humorous yet poignant critique of society's norms. The opening portion sets the tone for the subsequent sketches, showcasing Saki's astute satire and entertaining storytelling.
