Description: THIS is a book that might have been written by a mischievous Anglo-French angel. It is filled with good food, good drink, wit, love, and as much pain as joy ever needs for seasoning. It is the story of the goings-on in a two-family house in Ottawa, Canada, some twenty years ago. The reader is going to have a wonderful time meeting the family who lives in that house — Papa, Mama, and Uncle Louis, who drinks wine from his water cooler and claims to be suffering from the fatal bite of a butterfly; Uncle Felix, the befuddled scientist; Uncle Desmonde, who is the proud owner of the largest collection. of ladies' garters in Ottawa; and, finally, the Boy, who watches them all and learns from them all. Like Papa's dark, fragrant coffee and cognac, this book is a brew to warm the heart. This Special edition of THE HAPPY TIME by Robert Fontaine has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Simon and Schuster, Inc., New York. Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books in Wartime
