The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me
By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
Cloth, $1.50
“A jolly book ... truly one of the best that has yet come down war’s grim pike.”–New York Post.
“Honest from first to last.... Resembles ‘Innocents Abroad’ in scheme and laughter ... a vivid picture of Europe at this hour. Should be thrice blessed, for man and book light up a world in the gloom of war.”–New York Sun.
“A unique chronicle, genuine and sincere.”–New York Times.
Here is a book of truth and humor. One of the first stories by an American that tell what America has done and is doing “over there.” It is a tale such as Mark Twain would have written had he lived to do his bit in France.
Two “short, fat, bald, middle-aged, inland Americans” cross over to France with commissions from the Red Cross. Their experiences are told in a bubbling humor that is irresistible. The sober common sense and the information about the work going on in France–the way our men take hold and the French respond–go to make this the book all Americans have long been waiting for.
