"HERE IS WHAT ELOISE DOES IN PARIS: EVERYTHING. THE EFFECT IS RAWTHER EXTRAORDINAIRE": First Edition of Eloise in Paris; Signed by Hilary Knight
First edition of the second book in Kay Thompson's cherished Eloise series. Quarto, original cloth, illustrated throughout by Hilary Knight. Signed by the illustrator on the front free endpaper, "Hilary Knight and ME! ELOISE." Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket.
Eloise in Paris was first published in 1957, the second of the Eloise quartet, and an immediate bestseller. Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight traveled to Paris to research the book, and the illustrations are dotted with the celebrities they knew there: Richard Avedon takes Eloise's passport photograph; Christian Dior prods her tummy, while his young assistant, Yves Saint Laurent, looks on; Lena Horne sits at an outdoor café.
