EDWARD VII and SAKI
Peaceful yet popular and very well respected, Edward VII plays an influential part in bringing Great Britain, France, and Russia together in 1907 into the Triple Entente. One of the most wittiest and inventive satirist's writers in England is a journalist most noted for his fiction pieces, known as Hector Hugh Munro. Saki is his pen name ( Comptons Online Encyclopedia). His typical stories are marked by amoral reversal revenge on the pretentious cruel practical jokes, and uncary supernatural incidents (Encyclopedia of Knowledge). Evidence from research has proven to show that Edward VII's political practices and beliefs have almost no influence on Saki's writings.Edward VII is born in London in 1841, at Buckingham Palace. He is the first of three sons born to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Edward belongs to the royal family of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and is the first member of the royal family to tour the USA ( Ross, 15). When his father died in 1861, Queen Victoria, Edward's mother, blamed him for the death. Edward then has his seat in the House of Lords as the Duke of Cornwall (www.spartacus.com). In 1863, Edward married Princess Alexandra of Denmark. The Prince and Princess have six children (Encyclopedia Americana).
Saki is a novelist and short story writer born in Akyab, Mynamar on December 18,1870 ( www.spartcus.com). Munro is the youngest of an Inspector - General's three children. At age two, he is sent to England and is brought up by his two strict aunts, Aunt Tom and Aunt Augusta. Hw later takes literary revenge on them by using them as characters in the "Lumber" and the "Sex That Never Shops" (Langguth, 219). In June of 1916, Saki goes back to London to spend time with his sister and brother. Three months later, he becomes a lance - sergeant ( langguth, 22). November of the same year, Saki enters World War I. Hector Hugh Munro, Saki, is killed by a sniper in the early hours of a winter day, on November 13, 1916 ( Langguth, 98). Saki is remembered for his fiction pieces distinguishing by dialogue and narrative ( Encyclopedia Americana, 26). He delightes readers with his political sketches, intensive writings. He is often compared with " O-Henry" ( www.spartcus.com). In June of 1893, Saki returns to Burma, joins the police force, and begins to study Burgmese animals. He writes about one of the tigers in his short story, " Mrs. Packletide`s Tiger." Saki says, " It was Mrs. Packletides pleasure and intention that she should shoot a tiger." Three years later, Munro returns to London and writes political satires for the West Minister Gazette and publishes " The Rise of the Empire", in 1900 (Encyclopedia of Knowledge, 224 ). A collection called Not So Stories is published so
