Meet this mad, lovable family which loves all beautiful things—good food, good drink, good living—no matter what the neighbors think. From Uncle Louis, who loves white wine so well he keeps a water cooler of it by his bed, to Grandfather, who loves chocolates with cognac centers and widows of fifty, you will learn why a boy will always remember this period as The Happy Time.
A famous best-seller, The Happy Time was made into a highly successful Broadway play.

Work Description
This is an endearing look at the growing-up years of a young boy with a fascinating view of his parents, grandfather, three uncles, aunt and girl cousin. Only the mother is English but adapts well into the early 20th Century French-Canadian society into which she has married. The author chronicles the highs and lows of discovering friend and foe, of discovering adventure alone or with friends.
