Few writers have possessed Max Beerbohm's talent for parody, and 'A Christmas Garland' is perhaps the best collection of parodies ever written in English. Here are glorious, often loving spoofs of Beerbohm's well-known contemporaries - Henry James, George Bernard Shaw, Thomas Hardy, Joseph Conrad, Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Well, George Meredith, John Galsworthy, and others - woven together by a Christmas theme and by the inventiveness of Beerbohm's comic art.
