This was a good one. Burns has a fun sense of humor, it's no wonder he's remained consistently famous and popular all throughout!

Very funny and clever letters written to George Burns. He tries ( chuckle) to answer them in a practical way with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure. I haven't read any of his books or thought much about him in a few years. So this was a fun read and good book to pick up at a book sale supporting a tiny library in NH. Glad I bought it and will be happy to put it in a little free library for other to enjoy.

Total wonderfulness! I heard his voice, delivery and timing with each word. He even had photos of his favorite vaudeville stars. And there was one writer who kept sending updates on a problem….incredibly enjoyable…a total joy of a book!!
