( Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen...)
Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising, because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New York City―the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found two better guides―and friends―than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many adventures―from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a smoky fire. Chester makes a third friend, too. It is a boy, Mario, who rescues Chester from a dusty corner of the subway station and brings him to live in the safety of his parents' newsstand. He hopes at first to keep Chester as a pet, but Mario soon understands that the cricket is more than that. Because Chester has a hidden talent and no one―not even Chester himself―realizes that the little country cricket may just be able to teach even the toughest New Yorkers a thing or two. Spanish language edition.

(The story is about a cricket from Connecticut named Chest...)
The story is about a cricket from Connecticut named Chester who gets caught on a commuter train heading for New York. After stumbling on the subway, Chester ends up in Times Square. Mario Bellini, who helps his parents run a financially struggling newsstand, finds Chester and takes him to the newsstand, as he wants to keep the cricket as a pet and for good luck. Mama Bellini is concerned that the cricket will give the family germs, but Papa Bellini is more easy-going about the cricket's presence. At the newsstand, Chester meets Tucker Mouse and Harry Cat, who spend their time scrounging the city for food and other thrown away items. They show him Times Square, which Chester finds overwhelming. During the story, Chester reveals his musical chirping talent. Mario takes Chester to Chinatown (via the 1 train), where he buys Chester a cricket cage from the Chinatown shop owner Sai Fong.

He had an older brother, Hartwell Greene Thompson, Junior. Selden was educated at the Loomis School, and graduated from there in 1947. He attended Yale University, where he joined the Elizabethan Club and the literary magazine, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1951.
He also attended Columbia University for three summers.
After Yale, he studied for a year in Rome on a Fulbright Scholarship from 1951 and 1952.
Known professionally as George Selden, he also wrote under the pseudonym Terry Andrews. Born in Hartford, Connecticut to Doctor Hartwell Greene Thompson, Senior, an obstetrician at Hartford Hospital, and Sigrid Marie (Johnson). The first book, The Cricket in Times Square, was a Newbery Honor Book in 1961.
Selden explained the inspiration for that book as follows:
"One night I was coming home on the subway, and I did hear a cricket chirp in the Times Square subway station.
The story formed in my mind within minutes. An author is very thankful for minutes like those, although they happen all too infrequently."
In 1974, under the pseudonym of Terry Andrews, Selden wrote the adult novel The Story of Harold, the story of a bisexual children"s book author"s various affairs, friendships, and mentoring of a lonely child, using the fairy tale of Rumplestilskin as an allegory.
The book is very descriptive of the seventies, including the sexual revolution. Moderately graphic scenes of sado-masochism, orgies and other sexual acts, are narrated by Terry, the book"s protagonist.
lieutenant could be construed as somewhat autobiographical in the sense the author writes of a character who writes children"s books
The relationship to the boy and also the author"s own feelings regarding his own existence are the main keys in this novel. Selden remained unmarried. A resident of Greenwich Village in New York City, he died there at age 60 from a gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
