Main Line Wasp is the autobiography of a fine Philadelphian and possibly the last honest Philadelphia politician. Following Thatcher came Wilson Good and John Street - have to be a Philadelphian to understand!!!! The book was a humorous and thoughtful description of his life and times.

What a charming, delightful read. When I first moved to Philadelphia in 1987, I well remember the name Thacher Longstreth always in the news. I'm so glad now to read his story. I read a copy from the library which was signed by the author. It reads: " 11/12/90 To All My Beloved Readers at Kate Furness Free Library- Now go out and get Main Line Wasp for your personal collection! Thacher Longstreth" hahah! Always a salesman.
