Beschreibung

Grey cloth with green lettering and cover illustration in green and white. Moderate discoloration shows on light colored boards, endpapers and closed outside edges. Text is clean and bright, no marks."A tender story of an old grandfather and his fourteen year old granddaughter, quaint and charming in Robert Nathan's inimitable way. It lacks the subtle under-currents of social commentary that characterize such books as One More Spring; there is nothing of fantasy, except in the manner of telling. But Nathan has a poignancy of characterization which makes the slightest of his tales rare. The grandfather tells the story, and without once describing himself, the picture is a clearly defined one. The story of his problems with an interfering and conventional sister, a precise and unique secretary, a young German exile on whom he took pity, and the grandchild who has her first case of violent calf love is told with shy humor, charm and a persuasive quality that gets under the skin."
