KING'S TALES by King Robert
Bridge, no less than golf, has a fine tradition of humorous writing that is at the same time instructive. In this father and son team, a professional bridge player and a professional playwright have joined forces to produce this collection of pastiches. This book consists of pastiches of 30 British and American authors which include names such as Damon Runyon, Isaac Asimov, Noel Coward and Marjorie Proops. It attempts to show readers how to improve their game and provides many insights into ways of avoiding disasters.
