Brief Diversions, Being Tales, Travesties and Epigrams (Classic Reprint)

Cambridge Review, and I thank the Editor for his courtesy in allowing me to reprint them. A few travesties and epigrams have been added and others have been revised. Most of the tales ivere written during the IVar many of them while I was in Flanders and at that time being away from books I imagined I was doing something new being either ignorant or forgetful of the work of better men, such as Lord Dunsany and Mr T. W. H. Crosland, in a very similar form. To such gentlemen, I can only offer an apology if I seem to enter their little pleasaunces and tread clumsily where they who went before me stepped so lightly and delicately. J. B. P.
