Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Presidents and Pies: Life in Washington, 1897-1919 A celebrated novelist once said, "If you write from the outside, you will soon reach the end of your material, but if you write from the inside, you can continue forever - you are never written out. It is like drawing on a well which is fed from an inexhaustible spring." But yet, though I have written more travel books than fairy stories, I have hopes that my well will never prove empty. No doubt it will need to be replenished, but twenty years in Washington, with its statesmen and diplomats, with its people from all over the world, with its wars and its crises, ought to furnish some underground spring. At any rate, I shall send the bucket down and see what is brought up. I am anxious to record my memories of old Washington before the World War, as well as the changes brought about by it, for we all feel that many of the changes have come to stay, and that the city will never be quite the same again.
