One of Saki's famed 'animal stories', The Brogue is the witty, and biting tale of an erratic horse and the hapless and even hopeful human beings that the beast comes into contact with. Writing as H. H. Munro here, Saki is a genius of satirical prose and always a rewarding and amusing listen.

This excellent animal story, written by Saki under his penname H.H. Munro, concerns two half-brothers, their respective artistic prowess, sibling rivalry, jealousy and a rather non-plussed white bull. As always, Saki lives up to his (real) name and delivers a witty and caustic short story which is an amusing delight to hear.
