This is, happily, another of Emily Kimbrough's delightful travel books, this time about a two-week cruise on a converted barge on the river Shannon, in Ireland. As the eight passengers hurried to board a Killaloe, the owner commented, "Time enough." And so there was, for what amounted to a suspension of time with no thought of clocks or calendars, just the quiet, constant beauty of the passing Irish scenery.

Through Charley's Door is the true story of Emily Kimbrough's experiences working for the famous Marshall Field department store in 1920s Chicago. While telling her own story with self-deprecating wit, she also shares many details about retailing during that period, as well as the customers who came to shop at Fields. Among the famous customers are John Shedd, Gordon Selfridge, Mrs. Sam Goldwyn, Carl Sandburg, and others familiar to the student of Chicago history. Out of print for many years, this is still a popular book with those interested in Chicago's history and the history of advertising, merchandising and retailing in the early 20th century.
