Merton of the Movies

By Harry Leon Wilson

     ... Would you like to know," the ad demanded, "if you are adapted to this work?

About H.L. Wilson and his book

Wilson's humorous twist on the old Cinderella tale is not exactly "Pretty Woman," but it is a story of romance and rescue nevertheless. And although Merton's dreams come true — after an odd fashion — by the end of the story he has become a sadder and wiser man. "Merton of the Movies" has been parodied a hundred times or more, but it still has the power to charm the reader (who is sure to get the point far earlier than poor Merton does). This is a true classic ... in its own way.
