Especially Father
“I knew suddenly that I didn't want the family to be forgotten. Especially Father.” “ No, nor the time lost either... the way of life in a small town, the excitement of an old-fashioned summer colony... when the family was still a tightly closed unit... icemen still drove up in the cool damp wagons and the gasburner had only lately given way to the electric chandelier ...for many people have years to remember in the same lost period.” Thus, Gladys Taber writes about ESPECIALLY FATHER, and here it all is - Father's feud with the state park superintendent that almost wrecked the summer the teaparty where Father shot the pine snake; the incredible trip to Mexico when Father became mixed up in a silver mine; Mamma's triumph in the affair with the the vacations in the incredible the wonderful days at the college where Father taught the epic chapter where the whole family meets after many years. This is a book filled with laughter and a few tears, warm-hearted and tender, the heritage that has made Gladys Taber on of the best-loved authors of our times.
