  The Golden Honeymoon

  Ring Lardner

  The Golden Honeymoon is a story about the road, a long marriage, old memories, and the kind of conversation that's been going on for fifty years — and shows no sign of stopping.
  There's Florida sunshine, checkerboard pride, the quiet company of shared days, an unexpected brush with the past, and more oranges than anyone really asked for.
  Told in the voice of a man who always has something to say — and a wife who's heard every word — this Ring Lardner classic is funny, plainspoken, and sharper than it first lets on.
  A story about what's left unsaid when you've already said everything else.

  Producer’s note: These audiobooks were read from the original texts, which were products of their time. When the books were written, it was common in American society to caricature certain ethnic groups for the sake of humor. This type of humor was wrong then and is wrong now, but to remove these inexcusable jokes and harmful portrayals would be equal to pretending that they never existed. Instead, we chose to leave the text as written, in order to shed some light on the issue, allowing for discussions in book groups and school settings and hopefully inspiring future generations to write with more accurate representation in the future.
