As a longtime fan of Miss Ima Hogg, and her nonexistent sister, I would like to read this. Okay, I’m really a longtime fan of the works of Miss Emmeline Grangerford and want to read more like it. The best part of 1985’s “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” was the great Richard Kiley reading the poetry of his “daughter” with the theatrical majesty it deserved. ---

There are copies in the University of Texas Library system, noted as “library use only”, and so presumably not available for loan. That’s all I could find.
