In the story, a gentleman goes to the country for a rest cure for his nerves. On a visit to an acquaintance of his sister's, he learns from the hostess' young niece that there has been a terrible family tragedy. What follows is neither restful nor helpful to his already frayed nerves. "The Open Window" is one of the most anthologized works by Saki. The story is frequently used in English education, and it has been adapted for film, television, and radio.
