What? Saki, the author of the short story Tobermory, was British and not Japanese?!
Okay, disbelief over. But seriously, I had no idea the guy wasn't Japanese.
It's one of those moments of mistaken identity that really shakes up my paradigm and my other long-held beliefs. Like when I discovered Jordan Sparks wasn't a guy after all--but a woman. And that it's not Jordan, but Jordin. Etc.
Back to Saki, aka H. H. Munro (or Hector Hugh Munro). You'll love his Tobermory--whatever your feelings are about cats--especially ones trained to talk.
And since this is supposedly a toy blog, Saki has a short story too about toys.

In the story an uncle presents to his unimpressed nephews their unlikely toys--experimental and totally peaceable.
"It's a municipal dust-bin," he says, hoping to take their mind off violent guns and miniature soldiers.
But of course, you know what happens to experiments.
