Detroit: Conjure House, 1946. pp. 63; dj shows some sunning and rubbing; else VG; covers are cream colored boards. 150 pen-and-ink sketches by the author. The author ".is a young, gifted, and humorous fellow who is looking back with smiling affection to days none of us who were there will forget. (from the forward by John Mason Brown)" Concludes that the "slight tendency of Yanks to exaggerate to their prospective British brides.[coupled with subsequent].depreciation of proposal promises probably justified the tearful farewells given by apprehensive relatives to emigrating English brides and babies. And the English girls who were left behind, after changing their ways of life had to change back again that is, those who could remember how they acted and talked before the Yanks came." Entertaining American-English vocabulary on (unpaginated) p. 63 in triple cols.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
