it's a long time since I read it, but I remember the treatment in Burge's 1975 "Recursive Programming Techniques" being clear, along with other techniques, if you can find a library copy. As far as I know, combinator parsing was introduced there, and I find it's normally worth reading the original literature on a topic. Burge is a classic generally as a follow-on to "The Next 700 Programming Languages".
