Originally published as Auntie Mame, this is the madcap story of Patrick’s adoption at the age of ten by his zany, unconventional Auntie Mame.  And life with Auntie Mame was never ever dull! Sparklingly witty, irreverently satirical, this 1955 novel manages to remain timelessly relevant in its cutting send-up of conformity and conservatism.  Patrick reminisces his way through life with Mame in the glittering Roaring Twenties, surviving the Great Depression, her marriage and widowhood, World War II and into his first forays into romance. Based on a real Aunt. Back cover shows a scene from the film version with Lucille Ball as Mame.
