This is a collection of Jean Kerr's columns for the New Yorker and other magazines of the 1950s/1960s. Her work (and her life) was the basis for the wonderful Doris Day/David Niven vehicle PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES (which is also the title of her first book, also recommended!) I particularly love the essay about how her family had Poetry Night for years and how her sons grew to love the classic and modern standards. But everything is funny and poignant in this book.
