(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Dust jacket notes: "All that is inevitable, enjoyable, maddening and amusing about Christmas provides a perfect background for the adventures of this new Streeter "hero" - a grandfather who has not yet achieved the age of discretion and gives little promise of ever doing so. George Barton Baxter - who is more of a sentimentalist than he thinks - decides early in the fall that Christmas this year must be approached sensibly and with careful planning. But he reckons without Susan, his wife, or his children and grandchildren and in defiance of the irresistible mchinery of what has become one of our most popular national industries." By the author of Father of the Bride and Mr. Hobbs' Vacation.

The New York Times bestselling classic tale about modern marriage and the basis for the popular films is now back in print! Poor Mr. Banks! His jacket is too tight, he can’t get a cocktail, and he’s footing the bill...He’s the father of the bride. Stanley Banks is just your ordinary suburban dad. He’s the kind of guy who believes that weddings are simple affairs in which two people get married. But when daddy’s little girl announces her engagement to Buckley, Mr. Banks feels like his life has been turned upside down. The dress that will be worn for one day is how much? Why would anyone spend that much for flowers? And however befuddled Mr. Banks becomes, no one pays the least amount of attention to him. He must host cocktail parties with the in-laws to be, initiate financial planning talks with Buckley, and moderate family conferences on who will be invited to the reception. But poor Mr. Banks! All he sees are the bills, and no one talks to him about losing his little girl! Father of the Bride is a timeless, heartwarming, and hysterically funny tale that appeals directly to the lighter side of life, and any man with a child about to get married can appreciate Mr. Banks’s situation and the troubles that befall him.

journalist novelist screenwriter writer
Streeter, Edward was born on August 1, 1891 in New York City. Son of Harvey B. and Frances (Chamberlain) Streeter.
Bachelor of Arts, Harvard, 1914.
Streeter began his career as a reporter for the Buffalo newspaper the Buffalo Express as a war correspondent and travel writer He grew in notoriety with his "Dere Mable" letters, a humorous column from an illiterate soldier writing home. Serialized between 1917 and 1919 in the 27th (New York) Division"s magazine "Gas Attack", they were inspired by Streeter"s time spent on an army base (Camp Wadsworth, near Spartansburg South Carolina) during World War I. The humorous letters were compiled in 1919 in Streeter"s full-length books Dere Mable and Thats me all over, Mable.
After returning home from the war, Streeter pursued writing casually, deciding to focus on his work as a businessman.
Foreign eight years he served as assistant vice president, before transitioning to the Fifth Avenue Bank in New York City, (later, The Bank of New York) where he served as vice president for twenty-five years. While serving as VP of the bank, Streeter published short stories and articles in magazines such as the Saturday Evening Post and McCall"son
In 1938, he published his first novel, Daily Except Sundays. In 1944 he was elected to The Century Association, and remained a member for 32 years.
He waited another five years, however, before publishing his next novel.
Published in 1949, the comic satire Father of the Bride became an instant bestseller and was listed among The New York Times list of bestselling novels for the year. The following year, it was adapted into a successful film starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. After his breakthrough success, Streeter continued to write successful novels.
Of the most notable of his subsequent works are Mr.
Hobbs" Vacation (1954, filmed in 1962), Merry Christmas, Mr., Mr. Robbins Rides Again (1958), and
He finished his writing career with 1969"s grim semi-autobiographical Ham Martin, Class of "17. In all of his novels, Streeter showed remarkable perception into human nature, and a wonderfully erudite dry wit.
If there is a basic theme to his main characters, it is that they are usually men who feel put-upon, but eventually realize that they are taking themselves much too seriously (Father of the Bride, Merry Christmas Mr Baxter, and Mr Hobbs" Vacation are typical examples) Streeter died on March 31, 1976.
