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