Sure to provoke both knowing smiles and heartfelt tears, Father Knows Best makes the perfect gift for any father or grandfather. David Lyon is the co-author of Boston Off the Beaten Path and 1001 Greatest Things Ever Said About Massachusetts amongst others, and frequently writes for the Boston Globe. 'The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage.A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when he daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says 'Daddy, I need to ask you something", he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan.'
