A biographical book by Ludwig Bemelmans, famous for his Madeline series, that humorously chronicles his time living with the legendary interior designer Elsie de Wolfe (also known as Lady Mendl) in Hollywood and France. The book is a witty and charming account of de Wolfe's flamboyant personality, her eccentric household, and their travels, often contrasting the glamour of their lives with the post-war reality of Europe.
