It Takes a Villager is a treasure trove of collected newspaper columns written by a sharp, insightful and provocative ex-New Yorker from his adopted California seaside village home, Laguna Beach. These delightful commentaries are selected from over 50 years of Arnold Hano's observations of the local history and politics of the town and the foibles of its inhabitants. They demonstrate his affection for Laguna Beach; his effective social activism, including constant vigilance to insure that Laguna retains its village atmosphere; and his love for his family and friends, all leavened with his wry, irreverent humor. This collections rounds out Hano's productive writing life, in which he has written 26 books, including A Day in the Bleachers, as well as hundreds of magazine articles and over 200 newspaper columns.

In the early 1950s Arnold Hano and his wife, Bonnie, looking for a better place to raise their daughter, happened upon Laguna Beach. Immediately they were struck by the beauty of the place and the congeniality of its residents. They settled there in 1955 and quickly became involved in local issues. In addition to the 200-plus columns from which this collection was chosen, Hano wrote hundreds of magazine articles and 26 books, perhaps the best-known of which is a classic account of the first game of the 1954 World Series, A Day in the Bleachers.
