I saw the 1959 movie with Dad and liked it so much that I picked up the paperback and read it during a typically boring day of my parents visiting Lajla and Christian, his mother and her husband. This was a normal circumstance. Until fifth grade the family had lived in unincorporated Kane County, wellover an hour's drive to the city in those days before expressways. Then the grandparents decided to move from one to another house in Park Ridge, immediately NW of Chicago. They made their old house available to Dad in some private deal. Thenceforth we lived within walking distance of them and visits were at least weekly affairs. Grandmother Lajla was quite the social being, there often being many guests in addition to ourselves. Most were older than my parents with grown children. In those days pretty much all grownups seemed to drink and smoke. They gave all indications of having fun, but I'd be ignored and bored, usually retreating to a bedroom to read. Fortunately, Lajla had a substantial library and they subscribed to both Life and Time magazines.
