In this uproariously funny memoir, Ludwig Bemelmans uncovers the
fabulous world of the Hotel Splendide, the luxury New York hotel
where he worked as a waiter. With equal parts affection and barbed
wit, he records the everyday chaos that reigns behind the smooth
facades of the gilded dining room and banquet halls. In hilarious
detail, Bemelmans sketches the hierarchy of hotel life and its
strange and fascinating inhabitants: from the ruthlessly
authoritarian maitre d'hotel Monsieur Victor to the kindly waiter
Mespoulets to Frizl the homesick busboy. Illustrated with his own
charming line drawings, Bemelmans' tales of a bygone era of
extravagance are as charming as they are riotously entertaining.
Ludwig Bemelmans came to the California home of famed interior
decorator Elsie de Wolfe, Lady Mendl, for cocktails. By the end of
the night, he was firmly established as a member of the family:
given a bedroom in their sumptuous house, invitations to the most
outrageous parties in Hollywood, and the friendship of the
larger-than-life woman known to her closest friends simply as
'Mother'. With hilarity and mischief, Bemelmans lifts the curtain
on a bygone world of extravagance and eccentricity, where the
parties are held in circus tents and populated by ravishing movie
stars. To the One I Love the Best is a luminous painting of life's
oddities and a touching tribute to a fabulously funny woman.
It's the night before Christmas and everyone is sick in bed. All except brave Madeline, who is up and about and feeling just fine.

Now the girls are going on a Christmas journey that will surely make them forget their sniffles and sneezes. Great for gift-giving and group sharing, Madeline's Christmas now joins the five other books about Madeline as a deluxe, full-sized paperback.
