Unbearable Bassington, The by Saki (1870 - 1916)

Author: LibriVox

The Unbearable Bassington was the first novel written by Saki (H. H. Munro). It also contains much of the elegant wit found in his short stories. Comus (The Unbearable) Bassington, is a charming young man about town. His perversity however thwarts all his mothers efforts to advance his prospects and lands him in hot water. Like many a black sheep he ends up being sent off to one of the colonies to fend for himself. This book showcases Sakis wonderful writing and that ability to be so very funny and terribly sad at the same time. (Summary by Noel Badrian)
