Beasts and Super-Beasts was the last anthology to be published in Saki's lifetime, and it is considered by many to be his best. Whereas his early collections included many light sketches, Beasts and Super-Beasts contains mostly stories with carefully-crafted plotlines, often with clever twists. Several of the stories in the collection have been adapted to other media. Many stories can also be found in various short-story anthologies.
