I love Saki! I used to read them to my children and I even used them for school assemblies, an improper use I'm sure Saki would have approved of.

But in a pleasurable sort of way! And I had enormous fun writing my own short story for it - as I hope you all did too. It's the first time in a long, long while that I've written anything outside of my usual genre, and it was hugely satisfying. Whether anyone else will like it is another matter, of course - but if they don't, there are plenty of other stories in there to enjoy instead!madwippitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595748471651052552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-20182787945154605862015-06-10T16:07:07.290+01:002015-06-10T16:07:07.290+01:00I felt the same way about those old anthologies.

And later going to the library to look up writers and books that had interested you... Well, it could have been a description of me, word for word. And, I daresay, of many here, bloggers and readers.<br /><br />Thank you for all the brain-curdling work you've put into the Anthology - and as someone whose brain is curdling as I try to cope with it on CreateSpace, I can second your opinion that it is an excellent anthology. It's been a pleaasure to read it. The formatting, not so much...Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.com
