Reader's note

Add a blue Penguin biography to your vintage book collection with this 1948 first edition of Hotel Splendide by Ludwig Bemelmans! The background of Hotel Splendide is once again the fabulous world of a New York luxury hotel - the kind of gilded palace in which Bemelmans himself worked as a waiter when he left his Bavarian home many years ago. The characters, delineated with the precision of an engraving, include the whole hierarchy of hotel life from the Manager to the humble 'bus boy', and the situations reveal the typical dramas which flare up behind the smooth façade of the dining room and banqueting hall. Some strange and fascinating figures animate this memoir of the Hotel Splendide; read all about them in this vintage paperback!
