Some of us look up at those craggy, mysterious apartment buildings found in theaposher parts of New York City and wonder what goes on inside. The Doorman'saRepose collects ten stories of the doings of 777 Garden Avenue, one of the craggiest.aThe first story recounts the travails of the new doorman, who excels at all aspectsaof his work except for perhaps the most important-talking baseball. Other storiesatell of a long-forgotten room, a cupid-like elevator, a poisoned boiler, and theaunlikely romance of a cerebral psychologist and a jazz musician, both mice. Because the animals talk and the machinery has feelings, these are children's stories.aOtherwise they are for any child or adult intrigued by what happens when manyapeople, strangers or kin, live between shared walls and ceilings, under one high,agargoyled, turreted roof.
