Sassoon's delightful parody of Masefield's early work was sparked by a chance re-reading of the latter's 'Everlasting Mercy'. Sassoon's publisher, TWH Crosland helped in the correction of the proofs, and 'Sassoon awoke as the anonymous author of a sixpenny pamphlet in cheerful orange-coloured wrappers' ('The Weald of Youth', p.124 ff). The mock-serious preface was written by Crosland and issued under his trading name of John Richmond. Sassoon sent a copy to Edmund Gosse, who handed it on to Eddie Marsh, the result being a long letter from Marsh criticizing Sassoon's poetry, to the latter's great advantage (see Keynes pp.32-33).
