Title: A morbid but hilarious book
Product review: My brother was given this book in the 1950's. I somehow received this book in the 1970's.It is set in New York City. An impoverished and sickly mother and son - coming back after the father's funeral. Harry's main goal became to purchase and carve a grave stone for his mother - who died shortly after. Harry himself got run over by a luxury automobile (obviously a bad and blind rich person :) ) near the end of the book after staying after dark carving that gravestone in the cemetery.We made fun of the book. Everytime my nephews came over, they would ask me to read it. We all cracked up laughing hilariously - every time.On a more serious note, I couldn't help but shake my head that someone would write so depressing a book and call it a Children's book. My Mother thinks this was a great book and can't understand why it isn't a great Children's story. To me it a more of a dark horror story. With thinking like that, no wonder our Christian generation today is so screwed up.
