Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

Owen McMahon Johnson was an American writer best remembered for his stories and novels cataloguing the educational and personal growth of the fictional character Dink Stover. The "Lawrenceville Stories" (The Prodigious Hickey, The Tennessee Shad, The Varmint, Skippy Bedelle, The Hummingbird), set in the well-known prep school, invite comparison with Rudyard Kipling's Stalky & Co. A 1950 film, The Happy Years, and a 1987 PBS mini-series, The Lawrenceville Stories, were based on them.

[F · Rating 3 out of 5]

Despicable, spoiled people who plot against and then marry each other. Filthy rich, boring lives shook by a manufactured financial crisis. A lot of spelling errors in the copy I read. A lackluster denouement and a major plot point left unsolved. And yet, it was entertaining enough.

Ring withold the meaning, ...

You will find it as Exquisite ,moreover It's altogether a blend of unprecedented love .

I fell one must be obliged to reverence the epoch by reading 'sixty-first SECOND' of 'Owen jhonson'
