The Unlucky Family by Mrs. Henry de la Pasture is a witty Edwardian novel that humorously portrays the misadventures of a well-meaning but perpetually ill-fated English family. Through a series of domestic mishaps, misunderstandings and social blunders, the story captures the charm and chaos of family life. With a light, satirical touch, de la Pasture gently mocks societal expectations and family dynamics. The novel remains a delightful example of early 20th century British comedic fiction.
