Fred Allen's radio show, a 1940s precursor to television shows commenting on the week's news, was one of the most popular of the time. This book is an autobiographical tale from Allen's early days in radio to national fame with Allen's Alley, the nucleus of his show. The copy is lacking a dust cover, but otherwise in almost perfect shape aside from almost unnoticeable staining on the front cover. The four drawings by Al Hirshfield are a treasure themselves.

This charming book details the walls that European settlers added to the landscape when they first removed the stones from New England's (and New York State's) rocky soils to build low walls around their fields and pastures, many of which are still standing today, as well as the fancier stone walls erected by the wealthy in later years. Lovely illustrations as well.
