Saki Country: Images From Devonshire, UK - Part I

Colin Cameron, co-producer on our new Saki project, recently returned from a reconnaissance trip to southwestern England. The thrust of the trip was to get a feel for the landscape that H.H. Munro wrote about. Also we wanted a look at the actual homes and villages in which he was raised during those formative years under the strict Victorian rule of his two aunts.

Munro lived in several different locales near the town of Barnstable in the county of Devon (occasionally referred to as Devonshire when used in a historical context). This is where Colin set up base camp.
