Each of these brief tales is filled with humor, and James Marshall’s drawings are guaranteed to spark feelings of empathy, delight, and self-recognition. ![]() In this volume, all thirty-five episodes are brought together to celebrate friendship and two of the most lovable characters ever created. ![]() A man with a talent for friendship, James Marshall defined its very essence in his stories about the world’s two best friends. George and Martha teach each other (and adoring readers) that even in a close friendship, privacy is important, practical jokes can sometimes backfire, and among other things, pouring split pea soup into your loafers to spare the chef’s feelings is not the best-laid plan. Like all best friends, George and Martha do everything together-go to the movies, play at the beach, and just hang around not doing much of anything. ![]()
