Happy Days

H. L. Mencken spent most of his life as a reporter, editor, and columnist for the Baltimore Sun. As a gifted critic of American life and institutions, Mencken exercised a wide influence. In HAPPY DAYS Mencken recalls his boyhood in Baltimore just prior to the turn of the century. The stories are very funny; moreover, they reveal a personal warmth that in his journalism Mencken took pains to hide.
