The Cat's Pajamas

Description:

"In The Cat's Pajamas, this "latter-day O. Henry" takes us on a walk through his six-decade career, presenting twenty-two tales - some old, some new, all but two never before published." "A group of senators drinks a bit too much - and gambles away the United States; a newlywed couple buys an old house and finds their fledgling relationship tested; two mysterious strangers arrive at a rooming house and baffle their fellow occupants with strange crying in the night; a lonely woman takes a last chance on love. The final piece in the collection is a story-poem, a salute from Bradbury to his literary heroes Shaw, Chesterton, Dickens, Twain, Poe, Wilde, Melville, and Kipling."--BOOK JACKET.
