My Father as I Recall Him is a tender and intimate memoir in which a daughter reflects on the life and character of her celebrated father. Drawing on cherished memories, she portrays him not as the world saw him—a towering literary figure—but as he was at home: a devoted parent, a playful companion, and a man of profound warmth and generosity. Through anecdotes of family holidays, private theatricals, and quiet domestic moments, the book reveals his humor, tireless energy, and deep love for his children. It stands as both a moving personal tribute and an invaluable portrait of a great man.
