John Ferris Releases THE WINDS OF BARCLAY STREET

The New York World-Telegram and Sun became known as the New York World-Telegram in 1931, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, and then the New York World-Telegram and Sun in 1966. While the paper closed in 1967, it had published thousands of articles and touched many people in the city. In his new book, "The Winds of Barclay Street: The Amusing Life and Sad Demise of the New York World-Telegram and Sun" (published by AuthorHouse), John Ferris immortalizes his time as a writer with the New York World-Telegram and Sun.

"The Winds of Barclay Street" recalls many of the people Ferris worked with and met while working with the newspaper. The stories shared in the book not only tell of the ups, but also the downs of working in the media. Dudley Ferris, who is publishing "The Winds of Barclay Street" posthumously on John Ferris's behalf, writes, "The book is a whimsical retelling, less of famous columnists or events of its day than of the memorable irreverence and buffoonery that made up the paper's real world and entered into feature stories read by thousands of commuters."

Ferris aims to entertain and enlighten readers as well as pay tribute to the New York World-Telegram and Sun, and the many people that worked there.
