An interesting collection of "fictional" characters living in Ms. Shiffman's neighborhood. Gives a fascinating inside look at everyday life in 40's Los Angeles.[From FOREWORD] TO MY READERS:Whoever they may be ? Wherever they may be. This book was written in all sincerity as an anthology of persons and personalities who like a handful of various yet simultaneous beads were all strung up on the same string of "LIFE." Thereby making all people who though they are individualistic, a part of a whole that like in a symphony, one could not do without the other, in order to make a complete world. Because I owe a debt of gratitude to all these persons and personalities, who have given me the chance to see them and study them, so that in my small and simple way, I could learn to try to better understand "ALL MANKIND,"?I hereby express my thanks by describing a handful of them to the best of my ability. I hope that my READERS will enjoy and profit by my observations of LIFE as I saw it, and will be enlightened as I have been by ? "THE PORTRAITS OF MASON STREET"?that I humbly tried to paint with my pencil. ?SARAH ALTA SGHIFFMAN, A. D., 1947-1948. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 20151020002
