Yesterday Nov. 8th TCM was showing Penrod movies. They all had a little black boy who had the name VERMIN. I guess it's supposed to be funny.

Chris,

My grandparents on my father's side had the Booth Tarkington books. Penrod, Penrod and Sam and others. I read a bunch of them as a kid. They were delightfully politically incorrect and they were hilarious.

None of them would be published in today's environment, but they provide a unique view of Ameircana at that time.

Jim;

I have not read Booth Tarkington. I have the feeling the movies were not close to the books. You are absolutly correct they would not be published today. Chris
