Folkard's edition of The Jackdaw of Rheims was published by Gay and Hancock in 1913. Reviewing the book in Christmas 1913, The Bookman stated "The Jackdaw of Rheims is one of the most successful and popular of [Barham's] works, and clothed as a Christmas book, and illustrated in a grotesque, irresponsible spirit of kindred gaiety and whimsicality by Charles Folkard, it strikes again a note of merriment that is in harmony with the season and should delight old lovers of Barham and win him many new ones."
