Sally Benson s charming slice-of-life story is back in print for a new generation of readers. Originally published as World War II raged overseas, Meet Me in St. Louis is Sally Benson s semi-autobiographical account of the intergenerational Smith family during the twelve months leading up to the 1904 World s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. With warmth and tenderness, Benson chronicles the Smiths lives as they navigate sibling rivalries, first loves, financial hardship, jealousy, and heartaches in a poignant ode to the bonds of family. Benson's novel is infused with wit as she details the lighthearted, pleasant existence of the Smith family s five children one rife with chaste crushes, victimless pranks, and other childhood escapades. Yet, the novel s episodic, squeaky-clean veneer belies a dark comedic brilliance that transcends the ages and speaks, even today, to the universal experience of growing up. Long out of print, this new edition of Benson s timeless work includes a foreword by bestselling author Benjamin Dreyer, who comments both on the book's origins and its afterlife in popular culture as the source material for Judy Garland s beloved musical of the same name. An effervescent midcentury novel waiting to be rediscovered, Meet Me in St. Louis is ready to meet its new generation of readers.
