The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" by William Shakespeare is one of the most famous and frequently performed plays in the English language. Written in the early 17th century, it tells the story of Prince Hamlet of Denmark, who is deeply affected by the death of his father, the king. The play begins with Hamlet's encounter with the ghost of his deceased father, who reveals that he was murdered by Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius. Claudius has since usurped the throne and married Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. Consumed by grief and a desire for revenge, Hamlet struggles with questions of existence, morality, and his own sanity as he devises a plan to avenge his father’s death. Hamlet" is renowned for its rich character development, complex themes, and famous soliloquies, including the iconic "To be, or not to be" speech. The play explores themes of revenge, madness, mortality, and the nature of action, making it a profound and enduring work in Shakespeare’s oeuvre.

This early work by H. H. Munro was originally published in 1912 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Unbearable Bassington' is a novel detailing the story of Comus Bassington, the only son of Francesca Bassington, and his attempt to marry a wealthy woman so as to save his mother from losing her house. Hector Hugh Munro was born in Akyab, Burma in 1870. He was raised by aunts in North Devon, England, before returning to Burma in his early twenties to join the Colonial Burmese Military Police. Later, Munro returned once more to England, where he embarked on his career as a journalist, becoming well-known for his satirical 'Alice in Westminster' political sketches, which appeared in the Westminster Gazette. Arguably better-remembered by his pen name, 'Saki', Munro is now considered a master of the short story, with tales such as 'The Open Window' regarded as examples of the form at its finest.

Munro). Aided by a cast of ruthless children, and by Saki's icy wit, they throw the Edwardian social world into hilarious and appalling disarray.
