When Robert Benchley died in 1945, his obituaries read like love-letters from the world. Here is a collection of his short, whimsical, hilarious articles which show why.
With befuddled and heroic bewilderment Benchley faces his problems. Among others are the mislaid locomotive, a dachshund who sued for libel, and a songbird who was “out to get” Benchley.
It ends with five sizzling chapters of his “Untold Story,” starting when, as an innocent young man from the country (Boston), he arrived in the city (New York) looking for pitfalls. (It was a holiday and they were all closed.)
“…it is a saga of the gaga, and probably not far from his masterpiece.”—New York Times
A rare gem of a book!
Illustrated by Gluyas Williams
