This must be a new edition of a book that was first published in, I believe, the late 1950s or early 60s. I know I read it in late grade school, and it has stayed with me ever since. It introduced me to many literary figures (the Algonquin Round Table) and began a lifelong fascination with that era in literature. It's a very funny account of life in turn of the century New York, vaudeville, stage mother Minnie Marx, and early Hollywood. I would recommend it highly, and look forward to reading it again.
