A major literary event: Mencken s dazzling autobiography, with
200 pages of his own never-before-published commentary and
photos. In 1936, at the age of fifty-five, H. L. Mencken
published a reminiscence about his boyhood in The New
Yorker, beginning a long and magnificent adventure in
autobiography by America s greatest journalist. Mencken went on to
gather his childhood recollections in Happy Days (1940), a
richly detailed, poignant account of growing up in Baltimore. A
critical and popular success, the book surprised many with its
glimpses of a less curmudgeonly Mencken, and there soon followed
the absorbing sequels Newspaper Days (1941), charting his
rise at the Baltimore Herald from cub reporter to editor, and
Heathen Days (1943), recounting his varied excursions as
journalist and public figure, including his coverage of the Scopes
trial in 1925. But unknown to the legions of Days books
admirers, Mencken continued to add to them after publication,
annotating and expanding each volume in typescripts sealed to the
public for twenty-five years after his death. Until now, most of
this material often more frank and unvarnished than the original
Days books has never been published. Containing nearly 200
pages of previously unseen writing, and illustrated with
photographs from Mencken s archives, many taken by Mencken himself,
this expanded and definitive edition of the Days trilogy is
a cause for celebration."
