Summary
In this funny, fast-moving sequel to Second from Last in the Sack Race, we see the beginnings of Henry Pratt's career in journalism. Living with his severe cousin, drinking with journalists and providing copy with headlines such as "Chiropodist Breaks Foot", Henry's life looks small in scope. But Henry the Reporter and Henry the Man are both challenged and finally he is married and much wiser to the ways of the world.
