Bennett Cerf's Take Along Treasury

5/5 ( ratings)

At last - for happy, harassed, or harried vacationers, tourists, and tired businessmen - the perfect traveling companion, an anthology specifically designed to suit all moods: exalted, depressed, bored, nostalgic, impatient for a thrill. As Mrs. Hornblow and Mr. Cerf say in their introduction, "It is a mixed bag of offerings, reflecting first, the often contrasting tastes of a woman and a man; second, the determination of two editors who not only have read, but have compiled some very-little-known stories by writers just making their mark. Backing them are a few older special favorites by standbys that, in four cases at least, were never allowed to be reprinted in anthologies before... The editors of this anthology will be particularly grateful if the reader discovers in its pages a few new authors whose work he will care to follow further in days to come."
