A hilarious retrospective to celebrate the New Yorker magazine's first fifty years by one of its long-time contributors. Consists of portraits and anecdotes of writers and artists, starting with the founder-editor Harold Ross and going on to Thurber, Perelman, Dorothy Parker and numerous other legendary American names. Many reproductions of cartoons and covers by Peter Arno, Charles Addams and others. Available from Amazon UK at - believe it or not - £0.65 ... for a real feast. Enjoy!
