A masterwork of Edwardian wit and invention, this omnibus volume gathers the complete novels and plays of Saki — the pen name of H. H. Munro — into a single, essential collection. Renowned for his razor-sharp satire, absurdist humour, and elegantly cruel observations of British upper-class society, Saki stands as one of the most distinctive voices of his era. The collection presents his novels, including the darkly comic The Unbearable Bassington and the wildly inventive political satire When William Came, alongside his dramatic works. Written with a prose style that balances effortless sophistication with a deliciously subversive edge, this volume is an indispensable companion to Saki's celebrated short fiction and a testament to his enduring literary legacy.
