Our Hearts Were Young and Gay: An Unforgettable Comic Chronicle of Innocents Abroad in the 1920s Audiobook

" I love all the Cornelia Otis Skinner/Emily Kimbrough books--such windows on time! Wonderful humor- "

" I read this book years ago, the first time, and loved it. It may have been after ready Betsy and the Great World, but I can't be sure of that. I've read it since, and I still love it. I think it was one of my grandmother's books we inherited when I was a kid. "

" very funny tale of two young gals travelling abroad. they're very entertaining, and awfully cheeky! has been a pleasant summer read. "

" Loved this book! Two best friends and their big trip through Europe- so funny. "

" Cute, funny memoir of 2 highly sheltered American girls in Europe alone in the 1920s. "

" I really enjoyed this. I like biographies. This wasn't one of my favourites, but I did like it. "

" I've read this book several times - thinking of my aunt who introduced it to me along with "O Ye Jigs and Julips". Old as it is (1942), it's still hilarious! "

" A cute novel about two sisters who go taveling abroad together. Adorable and set in a wonderful time period!:) "

" Sought this out when it was referenced in a book I was reading. I bit old-fashioned but I knew that ahead of time and so had a delightful dual reading. "

" This book, written in 1942, brought back many memories for me of when I went to France for my first (and only)time when I was 20. I enjoyed it as much this time as I did in 1991 when I read it for the first time. "

" A little slow at first, but sweet and light. "

" This book is hilarious - the madcap adventures of two American Bryn Mawr gals in Europe in the 1920s, written by them in the 1940s. Cornelia Otis Skinner was a pretty famous playwright and actress in the 20s-50s. "

" I first read OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY when i was in a convent in Vermont. I was 14 or 15. The pleasure which I find in it then has not diminished. it's like visiting with old friends. There are scenes which are hilarious and have withstood the test of time. A tuly enjoyable read for all ages. "

" It had me laughing uncontrollably and so hard tears were running down my face. Highly, HIGHLY recommended. (Her other works didn't have the same power over me -- not sure if they aren't as good as this title, or my expecttions were too high ...) "

" Not to be missed. This is a must read. "

" Delightful. Hadn't read this in years and years and it still makes me laugh. The reader was excellent. "

" just plumb hilarious. and the fact that it's true? even better. a true travel adventure and historical, ta boot. "

" Amusing account from two teens who travel to London and France. Fast read. "

" The play was only ok, but the characters were funny so it was worth the read. "

" I read this years ago as a teenager at my mother's recommendation. It's such a hoot and such a good picture of a bygone era, and Cornelia Otis Skinner has such a flair for the idiosyncratic, as evidenced in her many colorful monologues. Great fun. "

" Without a doubt this is my favorite book ever. I seldom reread books but I've read this one at least 4 or 5 times and I laugh until I cry each time. I buy copies at used book sales and give them to my friends. "

" Found this at Grounds, a copy printed in 1944. The cover is bright purple with people dancing (drawn in silver). Absolutely lovely and in great condition. "

" Parts of this were laugh out loud funny. It really was enjoyable, but I did like it slightly less than I thought I would considering how much I like books from that period. But definitely worth a read. "

" The book is an absolute delight and one of my all time favorites. I've read it many times and can highly recommend it to others. "
