Interweaving his own memories including his bout with polio and a fascination with the Sears, Roebuck catalog, with the tales of relatives and friends, he re-creates a childhood of tenderness and violence, comedy and tragedy.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143135333\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0143135333.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wolff, Tobias|Crews, Harry\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: In unread excellent condition.
