Ring Lardner's influence on American letters is arguably greater than that of any other American writer in the early part of the twentieth century. Lauded by critics and the public for his groundbreaking short stories, Lardner was also the country's best-known journalist in the 1920s and early 1930s, when his voice was all but inescapable in American newspapers and magazines. Lardner's trenchant, observant, sly, and cynical writing style, along with a deep understanding of human foibles, made his articles wonderfully readable and his words resonate to this day.

Ron Rapoport has gathered the best of Lardner's journalism from his earliest days at the South Bend Times through his years at the Chicago Tribune and his weekly column for the Bell Syndicate, which appeared in 150 newspapers and reached eight million readers. In these columns Lardner not only covered the great sporting events of the era--from Jack Dempsey's fights to the World Series and even an America's Cup--he also wrote about politics, war, and Prohibition, as well as parodies, poems, and penetrating observations on American life.

The Lost Journalism of Ring Lardner reintroduces this journalistic giant and his work and shows Lardner to be the rarest of writers: a spot-on chronicler of his time and place who remains contemporary to subsequent generations.

Great Jeans Imposters
Size: 7-8 Years, Color: Deep Blue
My 7 year old has always refused to wear jeans however these were a nice compromise! They are joggers with a jean appearance so you get the best of both worlds. He thought they were very comfortable and enjoyed wearing them. It's a win!

Love these
Size: 7-8 Years, Color: Blue
These are great! My son is autistic and has issues with textures of clothing. I ordered these hoping they could be a soft pair of jeans that he would love. And he does love them they are just like all of his other really soft pants but they're nice little jeans so he can wear jeans too! If you're thinking about getting them as a soft pair of jeans for someone you know it's worth it.

Decent jeans but sizing could be better
Size: 9-10 Years, Color: Deep Blue
The jeans look nice and the fabric is soft and stretchy, but the sizing runs a bit off. They’re a bit loose around the waist. Good for casual wear, but not a perfect fit.
