Self-esteem is not an issue for Eloise. When introduced to the world in 1955, she blithely announced, "I am Eloise/ I am six." This child of New York's upper crust is totally at peace with her place in the world. Eloise knows exactly what she's doing and why at any given moment, whether it's braiding her turtle's ears, drawing all over the Plaza Hotel's walls, or pouring water down the mail chute. Even when she ventures beyond New York City, Eloise never misses a beat. This quirky, impish child has won the hearts of countless readers for decades. Now fans will be overjoyed to learn that for the first time in decades, two titles about the precocious Eloise have been reissued: the fantastique Eloise in Paris, and the terribly festive Eloise at Christmastime. Collected together with The Absolutely Essential Eloise (which includes a fabulous scrapbook of photos, memorabilia, and sketches and is sealed with a special Eloise sticker), this set is really rawther perfect.
