Happy Days, 1880–1892

Über

Happy Days, 1880–1892 is the first of an autobiographical trilogy by H.L. Mencken, covering his days as a child in Baltimore, Maryland.
The book was received with some surprise by Mencken's readers, since, unlike his commentaries on current events, it is written with great warmth and affection. Mencken's childhood was apparently happy and secure, and he enjoyed both living through it and reminiscing about it in later years.
