Book summary

Once a red-haired office boy, Torchy has become private secretary to the president of a big New York company. Married to Vee and a young father, he lives in the suburbs at the end of the First World War. At the office as at home, he meddles in the affairs of his colleagues, his neighbours and his friends, especially when love is involved.

Seventeen linked comic stories, told by Torchy himself, with his New York straight talk and plenty of humour.

Short and lively, they are easy to read in the language you are learning.
