Patrick Dennis novel.
YOU KNOW PATRICK DENNIS?
Of course not! (I think he passed away well before I read Auntie Mame) But I love his work. I didn’t care so much for his last books (in fact, I didn’t finish either Paradise or Little Me. Paradise was anticlimactic & LM was just plain sad) The best one is Joyous Season. (If you haven’t read it, DO NOT eat or drink while reading it. It’s hysterical!)
