Ralph Makes Good

(laminated pictorial boards; no dust jacket) [light wear to ends of spine, some scuffing and light soiling to the rear cover]. "A Success Story of the Sixties," this satirical little novella (just 96 pages) is "the heart-warming story of a typical American boy of forty who quits the farm and licks the big town. In the great American tradition of Horatio Alger, Jr., our hero rises from grass-cutter and leaf-raker to High Office, helped only by his innocence, his determination, and the grudging advice of a sagacious barber." (Sounds like a gentle version of Nathanael West's "A Cool Million," sans the loss of multiple limbs suffered by Lemuel Pitkin in that book.)
