Reviews

A most disappointing book, I'm sorry to say. Poorly edited, barely designed at all, and extremely uneven in its content. Nick Groom's foreword is worth reading, as are Mary-Ann Constantine's essay on Iolo Morganwg and Michael Keevak on Psalmanazar. Richard Littlejohns on Wolfgang Hildesheimer sent me in search of Hildesheimer's fictional biography Marbot, which I'm looking forward to. With the possible exceptions of those, skip this one without a qualm.
