"This novel, intended as a text- book, challenges all the old notions about teaching the fundamentals of economics. Virginia, a bright, eager girl of twelve, comes to live with her guardian.

What is surprising about this novel is that it really happened. Yes, there is a Virginia. She is now a grown woman having graduated (cum laude) from a midwestern college. The tale is fictionalized yet the situation and relationship reported actually occurred. Bob LeFevre converts years of classroom and seminar instruction into a vibrant, living dialogue between an older man and his intellectual 'Lolita.'? -Dust jacket blurb.
