A genial, slangy, and withal good-hearted drummer “spills” his inmost thoughts into the white pages of this book. He jauntily tells of many happenings so peculiar that as the news of each of them reaches Mame, his queen, she promptly breaks off her engagement. Each chapter chronicles a spicy adventure, a break, a reconciliation, but in the end Mame seems thoroughly convinced that her drummer is a hero.
“It is amusing in its way if taken in small doses.”
