Description

April sweet is coming in, let the Feast of Fools begin!

H.H. Munro, who wrote under the name Saki, specialized in humor and horror. "The Open Window" is one of his most famous stories, and I think "Gabriel-Earnest" is my favorite Saki piece, I couldn't resist this tale of a terrible prank for All Fools Day.

Our theme music is Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, by Richard Wagner. The 1945 recording was in the public domain and I couldn't resist.
