Nesbit. First published in 1913 by P. F. Volland and Company of Chicago, Oh Skin-Nay! depicts a year in the life of a small American town through the eyes of a twelve-year-old boy: wood gathering, sleigh rides, post office games, swimming and sand ball games. ---- It's a very real and funny snapshot of late 19th-century American working-class life, with its swimming pools, boardwalks, vacant lots, ice cream carts, Sunday school picnics and Saturday night baths. It is indeed a masterful work in its own right, a richly comic portrait of Midwestern America in the days of childhood. ----ABOUT THE AUTHOR As a young man, Briggs left his rural home to embark on a career as an illustrator and cartoonist. He enjoyed success in big-city newspapers such as the Chicago Examiner, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Tribune. In the space of a few years, Briggs moved away from the brutal humor of early comics and drew discreet strips in two modes: nostalgic musings centered on memories of small-town childhood, and satirical strips about the quarrels inherent in married life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem# 9798210666444\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eActual Book Cover May Vary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Dealer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Briggs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51800011276582,"sku":"9798210666444","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/558bac8b-b15f-51d3-8ad2-734779d2e500.jpg?v=1766092297","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/oh-skin-nay-the-days-of-real-sport-briggs-paperback","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
