The book launches two impressive publishing careers and establishes its authors as paragons of 20th-century American letters. With 55 illustrations. “One of the silliest books in years, and perfectly lovely.” — Saturday Review of Literature “One grand and glorious assortment of literary whoopee.” — R. James, Brooklyn Eagle “There are lovely drawings which sometimes illustrate the text and sometimes don’t.” –Isabel Patterson, New York Herald Tribune
