Tooth and Claw – Short Stories

Tooth and Claw – Short Stories

Saki, Rosemary Border

This collection of short stories is clever, funny, and shows us 'Nature, red in tooth and claw'. In other words, it is Saki at his very best.

Conradin is ten years old. He lives alone with his aunt. He has two big secrets. The first is that he hates his aunt. The second is that he keeps a small, wild animal in the garden shed. The animal has sharp, white teeth, and it loves fresh blood. Every night, Conradin prays to this animal and asks it to do one thing for him, just one thing.

Bernice Eisenstein

"Živom prozom i izvanrednim crtežima Eisenstein gradi emocijama bogatu i vizualno čarobnu priču... ovo dirljivo, plameno pošteno svjedočanstvo obraća se univerzalnosti pamćenja i gubitka."
