"Here are four favorite Bemelmans books that have not been easily available recently. My war with the United States is his discovery of America in 1914, when he left Austria for these shores prepared to hunt Indians, and wound up in the U.S. Army. Small beer is the risible saga of his adventures and discoveries on the long road from a remote Tirolese village to New York, Hollywood, and the cosmopolitan world. The donkey inside takes us on his own magic carpet to a little, hidden-away country of Equador--the high life of Quito, the home life of the provinces, and a good slice of exotic side life. Finally there is I love you, I love you, I love you--a star-spangled potpourri that presents the author in his various roles of bon vivant, doting parent, luxurious vagabond, and somewhat gullible uplifter of down-and-outers. There are also several of his choicest articles and stories not published before in book form." less
