Sredni Vashtar

By Saki
Illustration by Cathryn Miller
Grasswood, Saskatchewan, Canada: Byopia Press, 2008. Edition of 12.

3.5 x 3.5"; 20 pages. Typeset in Garamond Premier Pro. Text and original illustration digitally printed on 100% recycled paper. Housed in a plastic case.

This Saki (pen name of H. H. Munro) satire of Edwardian mores has the expected macabre elements. The title character, a ferret, becomes the avenging god in a young boy's repressed world.

The tight, crisp presentation – small page size, straightforward design, basic black-on-white palette, the plastic case – mirrors Saki's signature style.
