1902. Although his first book was about English romance, Newton
Booth Tarkington, winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, for The
Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams, came to be known for his
comical (and almost cynical) style of the Lost Generation that
characterized the 1920's. The book begins: It was long ago in the
days when men sighed when they fell in love; when people danced by
candle and lamp, and did dance, too, instead of solemnly gliding
about; in that mellow time so long ago, when the young were
romantic and summer was roses and wine, old Carewe brought his
lovely daughter home from the convent to wreck the hearts of the
youth of Rouen. See other titles by this author available from
