Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Songs of the Stalwart Grantland Rice is a sweet and kindly human being who has a habit of saying things in a sweet and kindly way. Sometimes he says them in verse, which is still better. You like Grantland Rice´s prose stuff until you have read some of his verses. Then you wonder why he doesn´t write in rhyme all the time. Then some day you read one of his base ball stories, and you decide that there is a good deal to be said on both sides of this proposition. Grant Rice is almost the only man I know who has made literature of the sporting department of a daily paper - not merely smart journalism, but actually literature - matter that has good diction, swift, sharp, crackling metaphor, deft phrasing, smooth, clarified English. And his jingles very frequently are more than just rhymes. They are rhythm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
