Glibtone Facetitious is a mythical perfect author, a writer who is simultaneously an Appled Upper, Self-Parodist, Metamaturling, Metafictionist, Unpalatable Truther, Rhysaurus, Aardvark and Grand Knight of the Order of the Toucan. His Beerbohm rating is off the scale and he is never Away with the Rodens. Although he doesn't exist, he is useful as an imaginary standard against which to compare living writers.
