About This Item
New York, New York, USA: Perennial Classic/Harper & Row Publishers, 1968. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Paperback in Very Good Condition. Clean, gently used book . This is Booth Tarkington's humorous classic of a young boy's first love in a small mid-western town at the turn of the 20th century. Twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Booth Tarkington had a warm understanding and wry sympathy for the special sufferings and raptures of adolescence. And the atmosphere of the Middle West, the place of Mr. Tarkington's boyhood, is evoked with a masterly hand.
Synopsis
William Sylvanus Baxter paused for a moment of thought in front of the drug-store at the corner of Washington Street and Central Avenue. He had an internal question to settle before he entered the store: he wished to allow the young man at the soda- fountain no excuse for saying, Well, make up your mind what it's goin' to be, can't you? Rudeness of this kind, especially in the presence of girls and women, was hard to bear, and though William Sylvanus Baxter had borne it upon occasion, he had reached an age when he found it intolerable.
