Illustrated by the famous graphic artist André François, Little Boy
Brown is the greatest book about childhood loneliness of all time. It
is also a classic that is ripe for rediscovery because of the lost New
York City that it invokes and its contemporary feel. Little boy Brown
loves elevators, tunnels, and subways. His friends are doormen and
waiters. This is his own account of the wonderful day that he spends
with Hilda, his family's maid, and her family in the country. The
character of little boy Brown is completely real and moving, and his
story lingers long after the last word has been read.
