New Releases by Ogden NASH

The Knave Evilard nearly ruins Christmas with his mischief. Nicholas Knock, however, restores the celebration.

The collection consists of one poem, written by Ogden Nash on Altamont Hotel, Hazleton, Pa., letterhead, 1 May 1953, a single couplet finding a creative rhyme for Goedecke; Karl Goedecke was a bookseller in Hazleton.

"To present an adequate picture of the blithe, careless quality of Ogden Nash''s rib-tickling poems one would have to be another Ogden Nash -- and he is sui generis. He takes his fellow man, and woman, apart in his new collection of vivacious verse -- the first in four years -- with engaging cheerfulness and an insight into their foibles that is almost uncanny." -- New York Times, Edward Laroque Tinker, 1942.

Essays and articles, including some first printed in Saturday Evening Post, by Morley, Throckmorton, and Nash about the reopening of the Old Rialto Theatre in Hoboken, NJ. The book ends with reprints of Morley''s exceedingly tongue-in-cheek newspaper ads to entice jaded Broadway patrons of 1928/29 to sail away to Hoboken to experience 19th century melodramas.
