" CLARENCE DAY started writing about his family some twenty years ago. {at the time of this publication}
His first book, God and My Father, produced a minor stir in the literary world, but the second, Life with Father, a few years later made him an overnight celebrity, featured and celebrated from coast to coast.
By the time of his death, Clarence Day has written another book, Life with Mother, about his inexhaustibly fascinating parents. Then came the play, one of the most successful ever to appear on Broadway, still outstaying newcomers four years later. "
" It is great news today that these three books about Father and Mother are now for the first time gathered in one volume.
Any reader who wants to enjoy the richest characters and most entertaining family life to appear between book covers in anybody's lifetime can now read about the Days from start to finish.
Anyone who wants to put into his library for safekeeping the literary characters of his generation with the greatest expectations of immorality will find them all in one volume and bursting the stitching. "
