About this title

About the Author

Edward Streeter (1891 1976) started his career as the World War I correspondent and travel writer for the "Buffalo Express". He grew famous for his Dere Mable letters, a humorous column which was serialized between 1917 and 1919 and which were collected and published in two books, "Dere Mable" and "Thats Me All Over, Mable". After the war, Streeter became a successful businessman. Yet he continued to write short stories for magazines, and later, bestselling novels. His most successful novel is "Father of the Bride". Other notable works include "Merry Christmas, Mr. Baxter" (1956); "Chairman of the Bored "(1961); "Along the Ridge" (1964); and "Ham Martin, Class of '17" (1969).

Synopsis

1918. Read them-and live with the Rookie through all his perplexities, through all his amusements, through all his work, live with him and laugh with him-and at him! For genuine humor nothing written in recent years surpasses them. Streeter and Breck were both with the American Expeditionary force in France when this was written.
