A Novel in the Form of a Memoir By John P. Marquand
With a New Introduction, by the Author

The Pulitzer Prize Novel for 1938, The Late George Apley is a delicious satire on the palmy days of Boston during America's golden era. Laugh as much as you like at George Apley's discomfiture, you will relish the rich portrait of a New England family set against a background of Puritanism. The tone throughout this book is gentle, compassionate and ironic; the total effect is entertainment of the highest order and a new and unforgettable insight into a warmly human American way of life.
