These short stories were mildly amusing rather than hilarious. I have read other short stories collections by Saki that were much funnier so I gave this collection only 3.5* but Noel Badrian did a fine narration.
My favorites were "The Reticence of Lady Anne" and "The Baker's Dozen".

Apart from the title story, contains little information about Russia or Reginald. Not as good as the other collection. Does have one or two stories of interest for my work, eg "The Lost Sanjak" and "The Soul of Laploshka" ("Laploshka said nothing, but his eyes bulged a little and his cheeks took on the mottled hues of an ethnographical map of the Balkan Peninsula.").
