Eloise in Paris by Kay Thompson

Eloise in Paris by Kay Thompson

Bonjour
Here's the thing of it: Paris has just been discovered by Eloise the little girl from the Plaza...
Here is what Eloise does in Paris: everything.
The effect is rawther extraordinaire. If you come to Paris with Eloise you will always be glad you did.
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 caf .
All four Eloise books by the late Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight -- Eloise: The Absolutely Essential Edition, Eloise in Paris, Eloise at Christmastime, and Eloise in Moscow -- are now being reissued by Simon & Schuster.

Kay Thompson (1909-1998) worked in many MGM musicals throughout the 1940s as a vocalist, dancer, vocal arranger, and coach. Ms Thompson created the Eloise persona by imitating the voice of a precocious six-year-old to entertain her friends. When Eloise was released in 1955, Kay Thompson became a literary phenomenon after collaborating with Hilary Knight on an instant bestseller. To far, more than two million copies of the book have been sold. Eloise in Paris, Eloise at Christmas, Eloise in Moscow, and Eloise Takes a Bawth are four further Eloise books written by Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight.

Hilary Knight, the son of artist-writers Clayton Knight and Katharine Sturges, studied with Reginald Marsh at the Art Students League. In addition to the Eloise books, Hilary Knight has illustrated over fifty children's books, six of which he wrote himself. He lives and works near The Plaza Hotel in New York City.
