Sally Benson's charming slice-of-life story is back in print for a new generation of readers.
Originally published as World War II raged overseas, Meet Me in St. Louis is Sally Benson's semi-autobiographical account of the intergenerational Smith family during the twelve months leading up to the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. With warmth and tenderness, Benson chronicles the Smiths' lives as they navigate sibling rivalries, first loves, financial hardship, jealousy, and heartaches in a poignant ode to the bonds of family. Benson's novel is infused with wit as she details the lighthearted, pleasant existence of the Smith family's five children--one rife with chaste crushes, victimless pranks, and other childhood escapades. Yet, Benson infuses the novel's episodic, squeaky-clean veneer with a dark comedic brilliance that transcends the ages and speaks, even today, to the universal experience of growing up. Long out of print, this new edition of Benson's timeless work includes a foreword by bestselling author Benjamin Dreyer, who comments both on the book's origins and its afterlife in popular culture as the source material for Judy Garland's beloved musical of the same name. An effervescent midcentury novel waiting to be rediscovered, Meet Me in St. Louis is ready to meet its new generation of readers.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
