1924. Scholar, poet, critic, United States Minister to Denmark and most delightful of companions, Maurice Francis Egan pours out his happiest moments of a rich life in this volume. Egan has great skill in drawing portraits of people, little sketches which are true to life and make you feel the person. He hates scandal, but loves good humored gossip. A joke is dear to him, even if it is on himself. This is a wonderful book of American reminiscences.
