Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: None as Issued. First Edition, First Printing. Text/BRAND NEW & Bright. Softcover/NF w/faint creasing to lower front corner & corner tips. First published 1957, and, again relevant today. Classic, humorous and nostaligic personal biography of childhood days of Robert Paul S…mith (1915 - 1977). Brooklyn born Smith, 1936 graduate of Columbia College, wrote for CBS and 4 novels, experienced both bachelor living in New York City and as a settled family man. This volume is a nostalgic evocation of the inner life of childhood written when he had offspring of his own --- it is an appeal for respect of privacy to children, to know the value of unstructured time, joys of boredom, benefits of freedom from adult supervision. A record of the overstructured, overscheduled, oversupervised suburban life of the child in the suburban 1950's, which, ironically "hovering parents" of today re-play, even to make impossible an ". appointment with myself to sit on the front steps and watch some grass growing". Jim Spanfeller (Illustrator) (illustrator).
