So You’re Visiting New York by Clara E. Laughlin, Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1939, dust jacket illustrator unknown

Native New Yorker Clara E. Laughlin (1873-1941) has an interesting authorial life story. Unless you’ve read her autobiography, it is one that is as unknown as she is today to modern audiences.

Laughlin’s first magazine story was published when she was only 14 years old. Without attending college, at age 18, Laughlin was appointed the literary editor of The Interior Magazine a religious weekly. She soon after became an author of novels, also cutting her teeth in history, profiles, and home and etiquette books. During her youth she traveled extensively. She worked with famed author James Whitcomb Riley on his book The Golden Year (1898) and struck up a lifelong friendship with him.

Laughlin hit upon a winning franchise in her writing career after she returned to France towards the end of World War I and saw first-hand the destruction of the country from the conflict. Because of her sympathetic books about Foch (1918) and The Martyred Towns of France (1919) she was a made a member of The French Legion of Honor in 1923. Enchanted with Europe and especially France with its colorful history, customs and people, she began writing pamphlets at the request of friends of how to plan a summer in Europe with an insider’s perspective.

At the urging of a book department manager at a large Chicago store, Laughlin was urged to write a dynamic guide book to Paris. In 1924 after much rejection from publisher after publisher, So You’re Going to Paris! and if I Were Going With You These Are the Things I’d Invite You To Do was published by Houghton Mifflin. It was a success and Laughlin became a 20th century Baedeker in her own right, writing travelogues to places all over the world starting with the title: So You’re Going to or So You’re Visiting: Scandinavia, England, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Rome, etc. All this success occurred after she was fifty years old. The series did not make her wealthy but enabled her to do what she loved best, to travel and then write about it.

Did you know? In the English version of "Skylanders Trap Team: Master Eon's Official Guide," on page 162, there's an error where instead of giving a description for 'Chapter 16: The Golden Desert', it actually re-uses the description for 'Chapter 12: Time Town.' The page also features the grammatical error in using "Mags's," rather than "Mags'."
