Description: Wickford Point may be described as an amusing, ironical novel; but it has the flavor of the New England of this generation as well as of that of the one before; it is the story of a whole family and its friends, not the portrait of an individual; and it has romance, focused on a most unusual heroine. Families like the Brills live more in the past than in the present; and, as Jim Calder, a favorite cousin, tells his story he leafs through the family album so that the reader comes to know all the Brills back to Great-Aunt Sarah who ran a station on the Underground Rail-road. This is satire at its best, satire that is blended with sympathy, satire that will be appreciated: by the reader even though he or she has never set foot in New England. This special edition of WICKFORD POINT by John P. Marquand has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Little, Brown and Company, Inc., Boston. Editions for the Armed Services, Inc., a non-profit organization established by the Council on Books in Wartime
