Doubleday, Garden City, NY, 1946, believe 1st.  Hard cover, 317 pages.  Illustrated by George Price.  Green cloth with green lettering and brown illustration on both front board and spine.  Very light corner wear; spine ends bumped; binding sound.  Price-clipped dust jacket has edge and cover wear, tears and losses.  Interior clean and unmarked with lightly tanning pages.  Pages 205-212 were opened/partially opened by prior owner resulting in some tears; pp. 207/8 has a lower tear into text.  No text was lost with any of the openings.  Largely autobiographical.  ‘Grandfather is on crutches because he fell off the roof of the chicken house early in the spring.  But a broken leg wasn’t going to spoil has country holiday, and he elected to travel back to the farm by ambulance.  On the way he decided to stop for some supplies, and crutched across Vanderbilt Avenue into Charles’s, followed by a small boy with a horse collar around his neck – to the consternation of all present.  And this was just the beginning of a sequence of hilarious doings which started out to be a summer for grandfather and grandson, free from women’s wiles – except for Mrs. Cragg, of course – and ended up with Cousin Jenny from Baltimore underfoot, followed in quick succession by a lady artist, a grandmother from the West, and a lot of trouble for all.’ (from front flap)
