A captivatingly silly read., 17 Mar 2006

By	S. J. Williams "stevejw2" (Leeds, West Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This is a book which will not appeal to all tastes. Its verbosity and self-consciousness are all part of its satiric/parodistic purpose: I imagine one finds it absurd and overblown or great fun. The latter is my assessment. The edition here (Yale Nota Bene) is hugely aided by the wonderful sketches by the author, added to his own copy of the first edition. I suppose a little like Cold Comfort Farm, but mock effete as opposed to mock romantic and rustic. Light and amusing. A real pleasure.
