"Max Beerbohm's body of writing may be small, but it is, fitted within the limits of his peculiar genius, almost perfect." --The New York Times
"Of all the comic reputations of that day--S.J. Perelman, James Thurber, Frank Sullivan--his is the only one, nearly fifty years later, whose comedy holds up for me. The combination of common sense and whimsy that were his special literary blend continues to work its magic. All is presented in a calm and unfaltering style of what I think of as formal intimacy; if he ever wrote a flawed sentence, I have not come across it." --Joseph Epstein, The Weekly Standard
