About this eBook
A salutary tale, ‘The Baby Party’ focuses on John and Edith Andros.
John is at odds with himself over his attitude towards his daughter, Ede. On one hand, he’s glad that life will continue through his child. On the other, the day-to-day practicalities of fatherhood bore and irritate him.
However, when Ede is invited to a party and ends up hurting another child, John’s instincts are put to the test.
A pithy story, ‘The Baby Party’ suggests that there are occasions when children can act with more maturity than their grownup counterparts.
Fun, fast-paced, and full of laughs, ‘The Baby Party’ is perfect for fans of Ernest Hemingway. F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is one of the greatest American novelists of the 20th century and the author of the classics ‘Tender is the Night’ and ‘The Great Gatsby’, with the latter having been made into a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan. Skillfully capturing the prosperity of post-World War One America, his writing helped illustrate the 1920s Jazz Age that he and his wife Zelda Fitzgerald were at the centre of.
