A collectible hardcover edition of our greatest African American poet's award-winning first novel about a black boy's coming-of-age in a largely white Kansas town, featuring an introduction by National Book Award finalist Angela Flournoy A Penguin Classic When first published in 1930, Not Without Laughter established Langston Hughes as not only a brilliant poet and leading light of the Harlem Renaissance but also a gifted novelist. In telling the story of Sandy Rogers, a young African American boy in small-town Kansas, and of his family--his mother, Annjee, a housekeeper for a wealthy white family; his irresponsible father, Jimboy, who plays the guitar and travels the country in search of employment; his strong-willed grandmother Hager, who clings to her faith; his Aunt Tempy, who marries a rich man; and his Aunt Harriet, who struggles to make it as a blues singer--Hughes gives the longings and lineaments of black life in the early twentieth century an important place in the history of racially divided America. Penguin Vitae--loosely translated as "Penguin of one's life"--is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

Warm and comfy
Size: Adult, Style: Solid, Color: Black
Super soft, warm and comfy. I bought the adult size. I'm 5'11" and medium build. It's roomy and comes down to the middle of my shin. Typical robe style except that it does not open. It slips on like a shirt. May not be great if you have to go to the bathroom a lot. Otherwise awesome, I bought 2 for my sister's.

Keeps me nice and warm in Alaskan winters!
Size: Oversize, Style: Solid, Color: Dark Purple, Size: Oversize, Style: Solid, Color: Dark Purple
As you've probably guessed from the title of my review, I live in Alaska. In my part of the state, the temperature gets down to as low as -25°F in the winter, so I decided to get this to help keep myself warm. (Part of it was self preservation; my mom flat-out refuses to turn the heat up past 69° F.) And it doesn't help that I have defective fat either. Apparently my body thinks I live in the Southern Hemisphere or something, because it keeps me warm in what would be winter for them, but is summer for me. The opposite happens in the winter for me. So I decided to bite the bullet and make the purchase...and let me tell you, this blanket/robe works MARVELOUSLY! It's so fluffy and warm, I rarely have to turn on my space heater anymore. Now I'll admit, I was a little hesitant to bite the bullet because I'm a BBW, and most things labeled 'oversized' really aren't. (All my plus-size peeps out there know the struggle.) However, this blanket/robe is different! Not only does it fit, I have plenty of room to spare. For the record, I'm 5'6 1/2 - the half matters, trust me - and 321 lbs. But it's a little long...which is to be expected, since it's made for somebody up 6'5. So what I did to prevent mine from dragging was tie the belt underneath the pocket every time I need to leave my room, as seen in the picture. (Yes, I can still use the pocket during this time) That way, I don't have to sacrifice the extra room in favor of a shorter length. I also like how the sherpa is inside the hood as well. Between it and the elastic cuffs at the wrist, I could practically live in this blanket/robe! I also purchased this in the adult size, but in dream blue. Again, I was nervous because I didn't know if it would fit me or not. Kinda felt like I was pushing my luck there. Fortunately, my fears were unfounded. Not only does it fit as well, I have a bit of room to spare. (See the last picture if you wanna compare the two sizes.) It's not as long as the oversized version, though. The adult size stops about halfway down past my knees, whereas the oversized can pool around my feet. It's not quite as roomy on me as the oversized one is either, but I bought it to walk around outside in, so that's a good thing. More room = more air getting inside to make me cold. As of the date of this review, however, the slit no longer has the ability to snap closed on either of these robes. That was a bit of a bummer. But everything else is perfect, including the purple and blue being true to color. If you're on the fence about this blanket/robe, just do it! You'll be glad you did.

Fire resistant saved my life!
Size: Oversize, Style: Solid, Color: Grey
Saved my life! I love this snuggie. I'm 5'6" and the oversized drags when I walk. Its my outdoor fireplace blanket. Went to a neighbors last night and the fire tipped over towards me. Hot ash landed on my snuggie. After a stop drop and roll, the only thing damaged was my snuggie. Yes, I need to order another, but the material did great with fire. On a normal night, it's warm and cozy and keeps me warm on chilly outdoor nights.

Size: Twin(60" x 80"), Color: Tie-dye Coffee
This blanket is a must have! I purchased several to compare and decide which one was going to make the cut. There was absolutely no competition. This is the softest, most luxurious, coziest and authentic looking blanket. I told my sweetheart THIS is the cozy time blanket! Luxury at its finest! I have real vintage for jackets that are extremely luxurious and this rivals them with a clear conscience!Absolutely stunning and extremely high class feeling and appearing. Also semi-heavy and very warm . Upgrade to any space

Great blanket
Size: Twin(60" x 80"), Color: Tie-dye Coffee
Luxurious look. It’s a soft faux fur on the top, with a beautiful and subtle variegated pattern that adds to the lifelike appearance. The inside of the blanket has a velvet feel and creates a cozy vibe. The blanket is a great size. It is well made with quality material with just the right amount of weight to help me relax and fall asleep.
