Foreword by Malcolm Muggeridge.

"A parody is first and foremost a humorous poem ... The originals on which Mr. Vallins exercises the skill of his craftsmanship are from the works of poets as different as Shakespeare and T. S. Eliot, Donne and Wordsworth, Pope and Christina Rosetti, Milton and Browning; but each poet's technique emerges clear and authentic from his amusing and scholarly pen."--Dust-jacket.
