description: Here is a book that will delight and surprise you. For nearly half a century Herbert Hoover has been carrying on a private correspondence filled with wit and wisdom. His letters, however, do no go to the great statesmen of the world but to the boys and girls from all over America who write the thirty-first President seeking advice and information. This book is a selection of their letters and his answers. It also includes some of Mr. Hoover's own writings about America which he is fond of enclosing with certain replies.
