Christmas With Dull People by Saki
3.0
3.5 stars
A lovely little collection of short Christmas stories. I've never read anything by Saki before, but was fairly prepared for his style and I got exactly what I expected. As always with such a small volume, I wouldn't have minded if it were longer, but given that I read it on the train on my way to celebrate Christmas with family it was actually the perfect length. The shortness, however, also meant that there was not enough content to manage to blow me away before it was over again. I smiled and was entertained and am now looking forward to reading my other collection by Saki, Improper Stories.
