The Unbearable Bassington by Saki (the pen-name of H. H. Munro) is one of many examples of the
author's witty bizarre and perhaps a bit cynical writing style. An example of what were
considered the typical manners and status quo in Edwardian society The Unbearable Bassington
is part commentary part humor and completely entertaining for readers of all ages and walks
of life even now many years after its publication.
