About this book
A. V. Laider is a short story by Max Beerbohm, in which a narrator recounts his encounter with a fellow convalescent whose tale about palmistry and a fatal railway accident turns on the theme of belief and self-deception. It suits readers of early twentieth-century English literature and admirers of Beerbohm's ironic, essayistic short fiction.
