<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The "refreshing . . . laugh-out-loud" #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller about life in the suburbs that was adapted into a classic film comedy (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>).</b> <p/> One day, Tony Award-winning playwright Jean Kerr packed up her four kids (and husband, Walter, one of Broadway's sharpest critics), and left New York City. They moved to a faraway part of the world that promised a grassy utopia where daisies grew wild and homes were described as neo-gingerbread. In this collection of "wryly observant" essays, Kerr chronicles her new life in this strange land called Larchmont (<i>The</i><i>Washington Post</i>). <p/> It sounds like bliss--no more cramped apartments and nightmarish after-theater cocktail parties where the martinis were never dry enough. Now she has her very own washer/dryer, a garden, choice seats at the hottest new third-grade school plays (low overhead but they'll never recoup their losses), and a fresh new kind of lunacy. <p/> In <i>Please Don't Eat the Daisies</i> "Jean Kerr cooks with laughing gas" as she explores the everyday absurdities, anxieties, and joys of marriage, family, friends, home decorating, and maintaining a career--but this time with a garage! (<i>Time</i>).<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jean Kerr (1922-2003) was an Irish-American author and playwright born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and best known for her humorous bestseller, <i>Please Don't Eat the Daisies</i>, and the plays <i>King of Hearts</i> and <i>Mary, Mary</i>.
