Description:

A reminiscence of America’s youth, Seventeen takes place in turn-of-the-20th-century Indianapolis. In this innocent story we learn that people dealt with the same affections and outlooks then as they do now as we follow the love story of young William Baxter. With chapters entitled “Little Sisters Have Big Ears,” “Romance of Statistics,” and “Clothes Make the Man,” Seventeen is a captivating classic. So popular was the story, originally published in 1917, that in 1951 it found its way to Broadway’s Broadhurst Theatre.
