Most of the Project Gutenberg eBooks are older literary works that are in the public domain in the United States. All may be freely downloaded and read, and redistributed for non-commercial use (for complete details, see the license page).

Many thanks to Simon Whitechapel for "The Pond", "The Holy War", "The Almanack (a Clovis story)", "A Housing Problem", "A Sacrifice to Necessity" and "A Shot in the Dark".

The stories, which to my best knowledge do not appear in any yet published collection of Saki's “complete” short stories, are taken from an appendix in A.J. Langguth's A Life of H.H. Munro (1982) and are no longer in copyright.
