Summary from the endpapers of the book

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.

From the back cover of the book

Eloise, here are some bouquets for you.

from Noel Coward: "Frankly, I adore Eloise."

and J. P. Marquand: "Like increasing thousands of other people, I am devoted to Eloise."

and Cornelia Otis Skinner: "Glorious book. Completely enchanting."

and Bennett Cerf: "If you haven't read Eloise yet, I can't imagine what you are waiting for."

and Cleveland Amory: "Eloise is the end. If you miss her, you're missing the Miss of the Year."

who were among the first to discover a book that has, within the two years since its publication, become something of a classic: Kay Thompson's Eloise, with drawings by Hilary Knight. Now in its 143rd thousand.
