Amazon Description

This is the story of
when I was a boy,
almost 100 years ago,
when fire engines were
pulled by horses,
boys did not play with girls,
kids went to libraries for books,
there was no TV,
you could see a movie for a nickel,
and everybody wore a hat.

One Potato Review

The fond, accessible remembrances of a very grown-up writer. Witty and wistful and wise, this reads like a key to this great artist’s career. Steig has always had feet planted in two worlds: amazingly still young enough to remember the wonder and blessed gullibility of growing up, yet all the while equipped with the perspective of the most experienced journalist to be able to pick out the good parts.
