Guys and Dolls and Other Writings by Damon Runyon

tartancrusader's review

5.0

Runyon is, to my mind, the closest America has come to producing a Wodehouse of its own. As a lifelong fan of Plum I do not make this comparison lightly. These stories are a joy and are full to bursting with friends you haven't yet met; Dave the Dude, the Lemon Drop Kid, Harry the Horse, Spanish John and (my personal favourite) Nicely Nicely Jones.
