Mencken published a reminiscence about his boyhood in The New Yorker, beginning a long & magnificent adventure in autobiography by America's greatest journalist. Mencken went on to gather his childhood recollections in "Happy Days" (1940), a richly detailed, poignant account of growing up in Baltimore. A critical & popular success, the book surprised many w/ its glimpses of a less curmudgeonly Mencken, & there soon followed the absorbing sequels "Newspaper Days" (1941), charting his rise at the Baltimore Herald from cub reporter to editor, & "Heathen Days" (1943), recounting his varied excursions as journalist & public figure, including his coverage of the Scopes trial in 1925. But unknown to the legions of "Days" books admirers, Mencken continued to add to them after publication, annotating & expanding ea. volume in typescripts sealed to the public for 25 years after his death. Until now, most of this material (often more frank & unvarnished than the original "Days" books) has never been published. Containing nearly 200 pages of previously unseen writing & illustrated w/ photographs from Mencken's archives, many taken by Mencken himself, this expanded & definitive edition of the "Days" trilogy is a cause for celebration.
