It is 1939, and even as the rumbles of progress are being felt worldwide, New York City clings to remnants of the past, with horse-drawn wagons, street peddlers, and hurdy-gurdy men still toiling in its streets. For nine-year-old Edgar Altschuler, life is stoopball and radio serials, idolizing Joe DiMaggio, and enduring the conflicts between his realist mother and his dreamer of a father. The forthcoming Words Fair beckons, an amazing vision of American automation, inventiveness, and prosperity - and Edgar Altschuler responds.

Softcover. English. Picador. 1987. ISBN: 9780330297127. 288 pp. Fair/ Book No: 54910
