Saki’s short story “The Open Window” tells the tale of Mr. Framton Nuttel who, on the advice of his doctor, travels to a village to affect a cure for his nervous condition.Nuttel’s sister has previously lived in the area and provides him with a letter of introduction to present to the proprietor, Mrs. Sappleton.When he arrives,Sappleton’s niece Vera entertains him while he waits for his host. Vera has a vivid imagination and enjoys weaving stories for her own amusement.Her latest victim is no exception.The tale she weaves about her family is fantastical, and Nuttel falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
Saki’s narrative serves as a comedic rendition of the traditional ghost story. He uses Vera’s tale to infuse the story with just the right amount of suspense and mystery while bringing the reader along for the ride.Ultimately, the reader is duped along with Nuttel, as the tale turns out to be a masterfully devised prank by an imaginative girl with far too much time on her hands
