About this book
Sewell Ford's freckled, fast-talking office boy Torchy returns, now grown into a young married man with his beloved Vee at his side. Across a string of loosely linked episodes set in New York during the First World War, the irrepressible hero talks his way through business schemes, social scrapes, and the small comedies of newlywed life. The charm lies less in plot than in voice: Torchy narrates everything in breezy, wisecracking slang that made the series a popular favorite of its day. Light, warm, and quick on its feet, it captures a certain optimistic American humor of the 1910s.
