Book Description
Young enough to be a son of the “Greatest Generation” yet too old to be a “Baby Boomer”, the boy grew up in the 1940s and '50s in a small rural town on Long Island. In a four-volume series he presents his memoirs as little time capsules, set in the context of their happening, unembellished, for the most part, by later events or other accounts. In this volume, the first in the series, the boy describes the unique playground of his youth, a world dominated by woods and waterways and the remnants of Vanderbilt opulence. In a sequel, “Idle Hour Retrospect - A Native Son's Study of 20th Century Oakdale”, the adult adds historical context, gained from later research, to the scenes of “Idle Hour Romp”.

Book Description
The publishing phenomenon of summer reading, often focused on novels set in vacation destinations, started in the nineteenth century, as both print culture and tourist culture expanded in the United States. As an emerging middle class increasingly embraced summer leisure as a marker of social status, book publishers sought new market opportunities, authors discovered a growing readership, and more readers indulged in lighter fare. Drawing on publishing records, book reviews, readers' diaries, and popular novels of the period, Donna Harrington-Lueker explores the beginning of summer reading and the backlash against it. Countering fears about the dangers of leisurely reading—especially for young women—publishers framed summer reading not as a disreputable habit but as a respectable pastime and welcome respite. Books for Idle Hours sheds new light on an ongoing seasonal publishing tradition.
