Description: Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House Eric Hodgins William Steig (illus.) Simon & Schuster “Hodgins brilliantly satirizes the modern lust for property in his tale of a New York advertising executive sucker-punched by his desire to own a country retreat from his urban pressures. His book looks eerily prescient when the real estate market has put the dream of homeownership beyond the reach of millions of Americans. First published in 1946, Hodgins’ novel has inspired three movies with stars of different eras in the title role: Cary Grant in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, Tom Hanks in The Money Pit, and Ice Cube in Are We Done Yet?” Janice Harayda The spine is faded, there is no dust jacket and there’s a bit of writing that seems to be an old price. No major tears or stains.
