In this series of fifteen warm, humorous, autobiographical essays, Mott expresses the philosophy that we are all a part of the clock and calendar system on which the world must be run. We must, however, he insists, stand up and say, I have time enough and to spare for what I really wish most to do. His essays recount American ways of life that have almost disappeared, but they also testify to one man’s dynamic and forward-looking philosophy.

Originally published in 1962.
