Hamlet Had an Uncle: A Comedy of Honor by James Branch Cabell 

James Branch Cabell (1879-1958) wrote many of the Twentieth Century's finest fantasies, including the controversial Jurgen, which was famously banned by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. It was only after the furor died down that readers and critics were fully able to appreciate this was no mere sensationalist, but a literary artist of very high calibre. Cabell was, above all else, an elegant stylist, whose gently caustic, beautifully fantastic comedies struck a chord in the Jazz Age and still resonate today. He was an important influence on subsequent writers as diverse as Fritz Leiber and Neil Gaiman. – Amazon.
