...greatest virtue is that Walter Brennan plays him, chin whiskers and all, as though Peter Goodwin were a real human being, not a stock character. Typical sequence: Peter Goodwin selecting, from a collection of mediocre two-year-olds, the one that has "the look of eagles in his eye...
Experts belittled him, said that he could not have exported Carrara marble from Italy at the time he claimed. Cremonese said he could show pieces of the eye he had chipped off. But Farmer Gonon would not let him try to fit the missing pieces to his Venus. Cremonese said he would produce the model, then had trouble remembering her name; it was Anna Something.

Booksellers took one look-an unknown publisher, an unknown author, an unheard-of price!-and wrote him off as crazy. Publisher Connett, a serene glitter in his eye, was not crazy at all. For men who paid $500 for a gun, $75 for a fishing rod, $250 for a dog, $1,500 for a horse, said he, Derrydale prices were chicken feed. He was right. Derrydale books sold just as well at $25, $50, $125. Last year Connett sold...
