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.
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.
Part of the series that inspired the upcoming live-action Netflix movie starring Mae Schenk and Ryan Reynolds and directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino!
