About This Item
NY, Viking [c1985]. First Edition. Pomerance C2a. Edited and with an Introduction by Madeleine Bemelmans. Foreword by Norman Cousins. "Bemelmans was the least inarticulate and most delightful personality I ever encountered. When he walked into a restaurant, his unsurpassed knowledge of menus and manners struck terror into the hearts of head waiters and chefs. ...He was elegant, ebullient, expansive. He could discourse on writing, painting, food, wine, hotels, and great cities with a combination of overview and minute detail that was the envy of essayists and encyclopedists" (Norman Cousins). "Mrs. Madeleine Bemelmans has arranged the best of her late husband's fiction and nonfiction for adults in thematic and chronological order to create an autobiographical extravaganza that spans Ludwig Bemelmans's experiences from childhood through his New York, European, and Hollywood years." Hard Cover. xix, 315 pages, illustrations; 23 cm. New in pictorial dust jacket. Stock#24791x.
