Product Description

Product Description

Francesca Bassington -- mother of The Unbearable Bassington -- was one of those women towards whom Fate appears to have the best intentions and never to carry them into practice. Fate had done her good service in providing her with Henry for a brother, but Francesca could well set the plaguy malice of the destiny that had given her Comus for a son. The boy was one of those untamable young lords of misrule . . . he was irresponsible and ungrateful -- the focus of his corner of British society. And what could be done with him. . . ? Send him off to the colonies, was what.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saki is wonderful, Dec 8 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Novels and Plays of Saki (Paperback)
Saki's sardonic insight and exquisite sense of irony don't work quite as perfectly in a novel or play as when contained in a short story, but nonetheless this is a wonderful book and well worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely entertaining and well written, Nov 11 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Novels and Plays of Saki (Paperback)
Stories are typical of Saki. Extremely humourus with an underlying bite ridiculing prevalent pretensions and beliefs. Languages is long winded yet entertaining. A pleasure to read.
