An older man plays cupid as his teenage granddaughter discovers love for the first time.

HENRY PENNIFER, an author in his seventies, lives in New York City. He is rearing his teen-aged granddaughter ELLEN whose parents were killed in an accident. Henry is a loving guardian but isn’t always able to relate to Ellen who is growing up before his eyes. Henry hires as his secretary ERIC VON SIEGENFELS, a charming, well-educated German who fled the Nazi regime. Ellen slowly falls in love with the young man. Through Henry’s eyes, we watch as Ellen grapples with her new feelings and her desire to please the object of her affection. This young love leads to a simple but moving gesture of generosity towards Eric’s far-off sister. Robert Nathan weaves a poignant coming of age story which explores the magic, purity, and the selflessness of young love.

“Robert Nathan continues to go against the tide. In an era of sea-level realism he continues to observe, and to look to, some heights of experience that make the motions of living more then endurable… Whether or not Mr. Nathan’s readers will be sorry to see him depart from the spun-glass world of ‘The Fiddler in Barly,’ ‘Jonah,’ ‘The Enchanted Voyage’ and similar fantasies is not to be determined at this advanced date. But they can be assured that as a story-teller of astonishing deftness and design and humanity their author has not changed.

You won't be sorry
Size: 10.5-11.5 Women/9-10 Men, Color: Black
Great padding for comfort and terrific warmth. I bought a pair of Acorns 30 years ago and still have them. Updated to a new color and now feel the benefit of newer padding! I used the sizing listed for shoes and like the roominess for thicker sox. Well made and a joy to put on. (Wisconsin)

Extremely comfortable, leather sole. Hard to find a style.
Size: 13.5-14.5 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 13.5-14.5 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Navy Blue
Totally worth the price. This type of style is very hard to find, my husband had another pair a few years ago that he was never able to replace. These fit his wide feet and are very comfortable. The elastic at the ankle is not too tight. So glad I was able to find him a replacement. We bought the blue in a size 12. Love the fact that they are washable.

Very comfortable Slippers. Great buy!
Size: 12-13 Women/10.5-11.5 Men, Color: Charcoal
I bought these to replace a pair of slippers that I have had for years that are very similar to the slippers I bought, but I had worn a hole in the leather on mine, so I had to find something new and similar. These slippers are worth the money they are very comfortable, and I am sure they will last for years. They are a little tight around the ankle cuff but they are still new and I am sure they will wear in a little more when I start wearing them more.

Great slippers but disappointing quality.
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Ash, Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Ash
Extremely comfortable, attractive slippers but the stitching came loose on both leather trim areas almost immediately. I tried to sew/glue down the stitching (as seen in photo) but it kept unraveling. Disappointing as these slippers are great in every other way (though they do run a bit big...I wear a 9 but ended up with a 7.5-8.5 which fits with a bit of room to spare even with thick socks). I just hope they hold up after my latest attempt to stop the thread from pulling out any more as I do really love wearing them. Perhaps I just got a bum pair?
