«Tooth and Claw» is a collection of short stories by Saki with an adaptation by Rosemary Border, published by Oxford University Press in paperback.
In one of the stories, Conradin, a ten-year-old boy, lives with an aunt he hates and hides a wild animal with sharp teeth in the shed; every night he prays before it to ask for one single thing. The volume brings together five stories of black comedy and irony that portray human nature in its fiercest form.
It belongs to the Oxford Bookworms series, stage 3, of graded readers in English.
Suitable for intermediate-level students of English as a foreign language and for young people aged 14 and over.
Hector Hugh Munro, popularly known by his pen name Saki and also frequently as H. H. Munro, was a British writer whose witty, mischievous and sometimes macabre stories satirise Edwardian society and culture. He is considered to be a master of the short story and is often compared to O. Henry and Dorothy Parker. Influenced by Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling, Munro himself influenced A. A. Milne, Noël Coward and P. G. Wodehouse.
