Life With Father was a series of humorous domestic sketches that appeared in book form in 1935, although by that time the writer, semi-invalided by arthritis for much of his life, had died. Accordingly, Day shares with Jonathan Larson, whose posthumously produced musical Rent is ninth in the Broadway hit lists, the melancholy distinction of having spawned a lucrative theatrical sensation that he never saw. The Broadway script was written by Lindsay and Crouse, who are most remembered for their work on the book of the Cole Porter musical Anything Goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe play\/book is set in the late 19th century in the Madison Avenue home of bigoted, short-tempered stockbroker Clarence (Father), his saintly wife Vinnie (Mother) and their four children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"lipmeister","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42111173689497,"sku":"6BHTUM","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/il_fullxfull.1693266756_jvam__RbnbH6.png?v=1651705471","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/first-edition-1940-life-with-father-hardcover-by-howard-lindsay-russel-crouse-by-howard-lindsay-and-russel-crouse","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
