Abstract
-
en_US
What a delightful little book! Ade offers engaging and funny tales with art that shows the same mix of the simple and the cynical. For starters try The Visitor Who Got a Lot for Three Dollars, Sister Mae, and Two Mandolin Players and the Willing Performer. Note the 1933 inscription: Ade hails himself as the vocabulary-destroyer who threw all sorts of things into the `well of purest English, undefiled.' By comparison with other printings of this book, this copy uses a different typeface for Stone on the spine.
