Although The Long, Long Trailer was Clinton Twiss' first full-length book, his entertaining style was know to hundreds of thousands of radio listeners. He was long associated with such programs as One Man's Family, I Love a Mystery, Mysteries by Morse, The Barry Fitzgerald Show, and many others. However, in the last few years he was obliged to give up this strenuous routine in order to devote all his time to television production and his Hollywood radio show, Twiss Told tales. Queried about the snags an author hits - particularly when writing about trailer experiences - Mr. Twiss had only these sad, wise words to offer: "You'd have to live in a trailer to know what it means to write with the vacuum cleaner running in your ear, or your wife urging you to move while she takes the pie from the out of the oven, or the man next door who bumps the trailer and knocks the typewriter of the bread board (that's my desk) every time he goes to the shower."
