Perhaps he's best known for The Education of Hyman Kaplan in which Kaplan argues that if the feminine of host is hostess then the feminine of ghost must be ghostess.

BENNY GREEN asks LEO ROSTEN how his love affair began and why, and introduces a recording of ERIC PORTER reading from The Education of Hyman Kaplan.
