Title: The Toys of Peace Title Record # 98569
Author: Saki
Date: 1919-00-00
Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: short story
Webpages: drabblecast.org
Language: English
Note: The newspaper article that this story satirizes actually was published in 1914. "The Toys of Peace" appeared in a newspaper not long after (details unknown), and was first collected in 1919. Marginally science-fictional in its depiction of a project to change society.
Synopsis: Eleanor, inspired by a newspaper article by an anti-war group, insists that her boys be given peaceful toys. But their ingenuity immediately finds ways to use the toys in war games.
