Galben de Crome, primul roman al lui Huxley, apărut în 1921, este o satiră socială rafinată, de un umor subtil, care ia în derâdere modele și snobismul "lumii bune" britanice, cu toanele, prețiozitatea și superficialitatea ei. Personajul central al cărții, tânărul poet Denis Stone, sosește într-o vizită la conacul Crome al familiei Wimbush. Aici întâlneste o întreagă societate venită să se destindă. Astfel, romanul explorează o rețea de relații și raporturi sociale din cele mai diverse, căci fiecare personaj are câte o obsesie ce-l marchează.
