Humours of Golf - W. Heath Robinson 1923 - Methuen &, London - First Edition Heath Robinson unleashes his considerable talent and imagination on the world of golf in this large quarto volume In the publisher’s wonderful original illustrated boards.

With an introduction by Heath Robinson’s
Country Life colleague, the great golf writer, Bernard Darwin.
  William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) was a prolific British cartoonist and illustrator, best remembered for his illustrations for the 1913 Hans Christian Andersen collection of fairy tales, along with other classic children’s stories, as well as the books he wrote and illustrated himself, The Adventures of Uncle Lubin and Bill the Minder. He later became known for his absurd drawings of fantastic machinery and devices.

Golf’s finest scribe, Bernard Darwin, whose grandfather was Charles Darwin, never trained as a journalist. He studied law at Cambridge, but was unhappy as a Barrister. "Once Darwin dipped his toe into golf writing, the reports he produced regularly for
The Times of London over a 45 year period and his ruminative essays for the weekly Country Life possessed a quality that no one else has ever approached." – Herbert Warren Wind.
