Cheaper by the Dozen Details
One of the best-loved American memoirs of an oversized family and the parents who held them together. What do you get when you put twelve lively kids together with a father—a famous efficiency expert—who believes families can run like factories, and a mother who is his partner in everything except discipline? You get a hilarious tale of growing up that has made generations of kids and adults alike laugh along with the Gilbreths in Cheaper by the Dozen. Translated into more than fifty-three languages and made into a classic film starring Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy, this memoir is a delightfully enduring story of family life at the turn of the 20th century.

Reviews
Un rcit bien crit, dont l'authenticit nous transporte chaque page. On suit avec attention la vie de cette famille hors du commun qui pourtant nous rappellera forcment, par certains cts notre propre histoire.A conseiller tous ceux qui connaissent dj la version franaise, pour y dcouvrir quelques subtilits difficilement traduisibles. Rien voir en tout cas avec le film et on s'en flicite.
