Told through the eyes of 10-year old Kerry (spelled with a K and an E and not with a C and an A"), "The Joyous Season" is a witty and irreverent look at marriage and family life by the bestselling author of "Auntie Mame."
When AUNTIE MAME was first published in 1955, it was a runaway best-seller and the basis for an acclaimed movie and a wildly successful Broadway musical. Patrick Dennis's story of 10-year-old Patrick and his eccentric but lovable guardian aunt remains a hilarious and heartwarming coming-of-age tale set in bohemian Greenwich Village.
With an Introduction by Paul Rudnick and a swank new cover, "Auntie Mame" is back in print, the classic novel that introduced the world to America's most madcap, fun-loving, and irresistible aunt. Afterword by Michael Tanner.

Now back in print from the author of "Auntie Mame"--the bawdy, bestselling, bountifully illustrated autobiography of an imaginary diva whose life is one hilarious mishap after another. 150 photos.
