Publisher Description: Before 9/11... Before President's sex lives were talked about on the 6 pm news... Before the sexual and feminist revolutions... Way, way before Political Correctness... There was a simpler time...a time when large families were not unusual...a time when everyone read "The Smith Family" cartoon in the Boston Globe (and other newspapers across the country). In the mid 1950s, Elsie Jennings, writer, and George Smith, cartoonist, were collaborating on a book with her stories and his drawings. Elsie's stories, like George's cartoons, found humor in the everyday occurrences of large-family life. Elsie became quite ill and died before finishing the project, but her daughter, Mary, has kept the material for over 50 years.
