Beasts and Super-Beasts, a collection of short stories, was first published in 1914 and was written by Saki, a pen name for Hector Hugh Munro. The title is a parody of Man and Superman by George Bernard Shaw. Along with The Chronicles of Clovis, Beasts and Super-Beasts are one of Saki's best-known works. It was his last book of short stories before he died in World War I, and many of its tales, most notably The Open Window, are frequently repeated in anthologies. The majority of the stories in this collection feature animals in some way, which serves as the inspiration for the title. In a number of the stories, Clovis Sangrail, a figure from earlier Saki works, makes an appearance. The majority of the stories have a prior publication in journals. Beasts and Super-Beasts adhere to Saki's earlier literary output's straightforward language, cynicism, and sardonic humor stylistically. Saki, a pen name for Hector Hugh Munro, wrote a collection of short stories titled Monsters and Super beasts that was first released in 1914. The title is a parody of Man and Superman by George Bernard Shaw.
