I love Clarence Day’s books and have since I was a teen. Fascinating and loving if bemused portrayal of life in a wealthy NYC family. ( )

Includes: God and my father -- Life with Father -- Life with Mother -- This Simian World -- Thoughts without words (selections) ( )

One of the best writers of gentle humor, ever. ( )

I bought Life with Father, and Life with Mother from the paperback book clubs at school when I was a kid (the 50s-60s). I loved them and read them to death, and was so pleased to find this volume that included them both. The writing is funny, warm, and evocative of quite another era. ( )
