Edith Wharton, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, vividly reflects on her public and private life in this stunning memoir.

With richness and delicacy, it describes the sophisticated New York society in which Wharton spent her youth, and chronicles her travels throughout Europe and her literary success as an adult. Beautifully depicted are her friendships with many of the most celebrated artists and writers of her day, including her close friend Henry James.

In his introduction to this edition, Louis Auchincloss calls the writing in A Backward Glance "as firm and crisp and lucid as in the best of her novels." It is a memoir that will charm and fascinate all readers of Wharton's fiction.

Not 100% indestructible, but cute and worth the money
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
My dog absolutely love this little toy although when I looked up indestructible dog toys, this is one of the first things came up. I have to say it is not indestructible. I have not found one single dog ball or chew baby that is indestructible. My dog has found every which way to destroy them. It is now four days later and it’s still almost intact, but she has placed a hole in it. It does come with a squeaker, although the second day she already pulled it out it’s cute and it’s fun. Your cat could technically play with it if you had a cat and they wanted one quality wise, I would say it’s definitely close to indestructible, but it’s not completely indestructible and the colors were so fun.

It's not indestructible.
Color: Blue
Buyers beware, I have a jack russell, and I just got this item ten minutes ago, my dog ripped it up.It is not indestructible, it is a waste of money. My dog is very aggressive with his toys. So back to the drawing board...So I can't return this item because, it's ripped up and they're not gonna give me my money back... So do not buy this toy.

Good for kittens & cats too!
Size: 15 Inch
Bought this for our new kitten, 5 months old, and didn't know if it was a good purchase or not. He loves it! He can chew on it, drag it around the house, interact with us too. And he hasn't lost or destroyed it. The only disappointment is the head squeaker stop working. The placard stated it would work even if bit. Not a big deal, though; kitten doesn't like the squeak. LOL

My dog's favorite toy, but
Size: 15 Inch
My dog loves his "lizzie" but the quality has gone down. The leather is thinner and easily torn, exposing the squeaker which becomes a swallowing hazard. Of course, no squeaker and half the fun is gone. For $10, I won't be buying any more of these. Sorry about that my furry friend.

Almost as good a chewing on my belt.
Size: 25 Inch
My corgi has always loved chasing her leash or a belt so I thought the snake would be a good fit for her. It quickly became her favorite. The squeakers lasted for maybe a month? Once there was a hole then we took them all out so she wouldn't choke. The snake without the squeakers is still a favorite. She's been chewing the tail end consistently and likes to lick it for some reason. I recommend this as a good tug toy. I like that it was made of leather.
