One Potato Review

The fond, accessible remembrances of a very grown-up writer. Funny and wise and wistful, this and Stevenson’s Higher on the Door are a little like William Steig’s When Everybody Wore a Hat. Both writers have feet planted in two worlds: amazingly still young enough to remember the wonder and blessed gullibility of growing up, yet all the while equipped with the perspective of the most experienced journalist to be able to pick out the good parts.
