The Bickersons' Love Letters Ben Ohmart

Publisher Marketing: Never before have the infamous love letters between John and Blanche Bickerson seen the light of day, and this collection shows just why. This amazing testament to the strength of marriage celebrates the true depth of feeling the squabbling couple felt for one another. And no. It wasn't always bickering! Unearthed at last are their origins: how they met. Who they are. Their very different backgrounds. Now experience, for a change, the love shared between two people who were obviously made for one another. "I'm sure you've all heard about the Lost Honeymooners Episodes, but Ben Ohmart has done us one better. He's found the "Lost Love Letters" of John B. and Blanche P. who were later to reap radio fame and fortune as "The Battling Bickersons." With the aid of their only child, Jules, he has painstakingly recreated their historical and hysterical correspondence from a high school crush to an elopement in 1939. The results are also painful, as your sides will be aching with laughter. Fans of OTR rejoice! This is a great compliment to the previously published scripts representing their audio triumph of years past.
