From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Alexander King (1899-1965), born Alexander Koenig, was an illustrator and author based in the United States. A frequent guest on the Tonight Show hosted by Jack Paar, wherein he seemed to have an endless trove of amusing anecdotes and stories, he was also the author of several books, including May This House Be Safe from Tigers, Mine Enemy Grows Older, (an account of his addiction to morphine, and his recovery), and I Should Have Kissed Her More, Is There Life After Birth. He illustrated and/or translated numerous editions of classics in the early 20th century as well as a book by Peter Altenberg released as Alexander King Presents Peter Altenberg's Evocations of Love (a collection of sweet memories of the heart from another place and time in history). King's easy conversational recollections of the first part of the 20th century are informational and often hilariously funny. His accounts include many famous names most will recognise.
