Thoreau Macdonald was the I artist chosen to /Illustrate the book with drawings for each chapter head. The result is a book so esSent- ially Andy Clarke's that you can almost hear the tone of his voice as you read the' pages.' All the greatest stories Andy told are in- cluded in the book. The form into which it has been assembled is by months. Each chapter is a month of the year, from January to December, in which are group- ed the choicest items that Andy broadcast in that month during the eight years of his "Neigh- bourly News" on the air. Greg Clark has written an introduc- tion in the form of a biography, the interesting story of Andy Clarke's happy and friend -mak- ing life. One of the features of the book is the index which enables the old Andy Clarke fan to look up the tale of the piano -playing dog or the bear that treed the hunt- er, without a moment's delay. It is a unique book, uniquely con- structed and certain to be an abiding sweet memory to a multi- tude of people.
