The H.L. Mencken Baby Book

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Mencken's career as a journalist, editor and writer is legendary; his brief foray into the world of pediatrics as a ghost writer is not. But THE BABY BOOK gives Mencken away. It is witty, buoyant, engaging and unmistakably him.

Mencken's baby care articles appeared in The Delineator magazine in 1907, then as a book under the omniscient marquee WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR BABY. "Questions for Mothers" after each chapter contains the original answers, followed by more modern ones. For all of today's science, we prefer Mencken's homilies. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
