Born in Long Branch, NJ in 1917, Mel Ferrer was an American actor, film director and film producer. After dropping out of Princeton Univesity, Ferrer worked as the editor of a small town newspaper and wrote this children's book TITO'S HATS. He was married at one time to actress Audrey Hepburn, with whom he starred in "War and Peace" (1955). He starred in many other well-known Hollywood movies. He died in 2008 at the age of 90. "Tito's barber shop adventure, which finally means that the hat his heart is set upon is no longer just the smallest bit too small. So, with Tito and his father when they return from the market, is this brand new hat which now fits perfectly, and presents for the rest of the family". [from the dust jacket] This little story is set in Mexico.
