The Hedgehog

Saki

First published 1919
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

A houseguest sees a ghost, but not one of the respectable ones her hosts boast of; they would really rather not have anyone hear about the white hedgehog, it not being the sort of haunting they want to be associated with.

According to Brian Gibson in Reading Saki, this story was first published in the Morning Post, August 19, 1913.
