Beasts and Super-Beasts

No one has ever matched Saki for the three-page story that ends on a line you never see coming. Here a boy worships a polecat-ferret as a god in the toolshed, an aunt is treed by an escaped hyena, and an inconvenient governess is disposed of with perfect tact. Born in Burma and raised by two tyrannical aunts he spent his career killing off in print, Saki was shot dead by a sniper on the Somme at forty-five. This edition presents the complete and unabridged collection, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates, Tissot's drawing rooms among them.
