Man on the Flying Trapeze is the first biography in decades -- and the only accurate one -- of the beloved cinematic curmudgeon and inimitable comic genius W. C. Fields. Simon Louvish brilliantly sifts through evidence of Fields's own self-creation to illuminate the vaudeville world from which Fields sprang and his struggles with studios and censors to make his hilarious films-in the process confirming suspicions (yes, he did drink) and confounding them (he doted on his grandchildren). "One of the best movie biographies to come along in quite some time. . . . A] book to cherish."--Film Review " Man on the Flying Trapeze] nicely regales us with many vaudevillian stories. . . . Louvish does a heroic job."--Katharine Whittemore, New York Times Book Review "A rapturous, giddy, and irrepressible book. . . . Let us be clear: this is a delight, a marvel of research . . . and a superb argument for the case that William Claude Dukenfield was, and is, the greatest comic the movies have given us."--David Thomson "At last 'the Great Man' (as Fields called himself, accurately) has a great biography."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Binding Type: Paperback

Good socks that *usually* stay on!
These do stay on my son's feet better than most other brands of socks but if he's really kicking (like in his car seat), they do still come off. He's 7 months and they fit OK. It seems they are sized a little small for 6-12mo. Other brands I have (Old Navy, for one) are just a tad larger so they'll fit him longer (even though he can pull those brands off more easily-just cannot win!). Otherwise they are made well and are good quality (which I was happy about considering the price!).

Amazing!
I found this brand a few years ago with my second baby and I’m back for more for my third. They do actually stay on all day! With the money and so cute.

Holy Grail of Baby Socks
Love, love, love these socks. As anyone who has ever been around a baby knows, their socks are always falling off! These are the only ones I've found to stay on so they are well worth the price as you aren't constantly losing them and having to buy more. I've already bought 2 sets and will probably buy one more and more again when he sizes up. Right now my son is 2 months old, wearing 6 month clothes, and they still fit him well.

Fits a bit short and narrow. Received one sock that had a hole.
Great socks for babies with narrow feet. However, the length is on the small side. I wish that I would have ordered the larger size (my baby is 8 months old and in the 86th % wearing the 6-12 month socks).
One sock in the set has a hole at the bottom of the foot. Sadly I washed them before putting them on my baby so now it's too late to return them. I'd suggest carefully examining each sock before washing/using them to look for defects.
The fabric is far better than the socks sold at Sprawl-Mart and they stay on better as well.
Final verdict - I won't be ordering these online again since it is difficult for me to do returns even if I had noticed the defect before washing them. They are a very good design so I will look for some in stores to purchase.

Good quality, affordable pricing.
Great socks. Just right thickness. Light and breathable. My five yr old loves them for summer. Also great when shoes are getting snug with thicker socks.
