Tooth and Claw: Short Stories

---

"Tooth and Claw" is a collection of darkly humorous and satirical short stories originally written by the British author Saki, adapted for intermediate English language learners. The stories are known for their sharp wit, unexpected endings, and their depiction of the eccentricities of Edwardian English society. Often featuring animals—from talking cats to wild ferrets—as instruments of revenge or chaos, Saki’s narratives poke fun at the rigid conventions and hypocrisies of adults. This Stage 3 reader provides students with a sophisticated look at irony and social satire while helping them improve their narrative comprehension and advanced vocabulary.
