"The Rubáiyát of Bridge" by Carolyn Wells is a playful poetic parody written in the early 20th century. This book combines the art of bridge, a card game that gained popularity in social circles, with the lyrical style reminiscent of the classic Persian poem "Rubáiyát" by Omar Khayyam. The likely topic centers on the whimsical trials and tribulations of playing bridge, capturing the frustrations and joys that come with the game. In this collection of verses, the author humorously reflects on the nuances of bridge playing, touching on themes such as strategy, competition, and the social dynamics among players. Through cleverly crafted quatrains, Wells portrays the challenges faced during bridge games, the varying opinions on tactics, and the fleeting nature of victory. The illustrations by May Wilson Preston complement the lighthearted tone, making it both an entertaining read and a visual delight. Overall, the book serves as a light-hearted tribute to bridge, appealing to enthusiasts and casual players alike. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
