Bob Collins' new book takes readers back in time to Hap's-and likely their own-childhood, to the comparatively simple days when their biggest worry was which baseball card to trade and their greatest joy was the last day of school and the prospect of the endless summer ahead. For those who've ever been a kid-or still are-the story will bring back a rush of memories of the hopes and dreams, as well as the naiveté, of those early years. It's a hilarious journey through the glorious confusion of childhood. Illustrated with black and white drawings, the book also boasts a unique cover design: that of an antique cigar box, one that Collins has kept from his own youth, and it comes packed with the treasures of a boy who came of age in the mid-20th century
