Condizione: VERY GOOD. First printing. A book presumably published for young adults by this author, who was also an editor and columnist, a producer of numerous motion pictures. a lecturer and more.

Includes a sepia frontispiece, 5 full page black line drawings,and several small vignettes. Small format, just 6 3/4 in by 5 inches. 92 pp. Orange and white illustrated endpapers.
