A Tale of a Tub
Robert Hendrickson notes in his book "British Literary Anecdotes" that "Swift was always partial to his strikingly original "The Tale of a Tub" (1704). On reading the work again in later years, he exclaimed 'Good God! What a genius I had when I wrote that book!'"
Brian Burland
It was not until 1964, however, that Burland began to be published, with his first book, "St. Nicholas in the Tub", being produced in the US. His next novel, "A Fall From Aloft", was published in the United Kingdom in 1968, followed by "A Few Flowers for St. George" (1970), "Undertow" (1961) and in 1973, "The Sailor and the Fox". Burland's other published novels are "Surprise" (1975), "Stephen Decatur, the Devil and the Endymion" (1975), "Flight of the Cavalier" (1980) and "Love is a Durable Fire" (1985). His papers include the manuscripts of five as yet unpublished novels.
