A Masterpiece of parody

It was a pleasant surprise to find a modern (1993) release of this book. Fans of Max's other works will enjoy this book because of the thorough introduction by N. John Hall. Many of the writers parodied by Max were familiar to me in name only. By including samples of each writers work and style, Mr. Hall helps us to appreciate the brilliance of" A Christmas Garland."
