"I Love Christmastime" First Edition of Eloise At Christmastime; Signed by Hillary Knight
First edition of the third book in the wonderfully illustrated Eloise series. Slim folio, original pictorial red boards. Fine in a very good dust jacket. Signed by the illustrator, Hilary Knight.
Eloise has always had a rather festive air about her, but when Christmastime rolls around, well, it's "Fa la la la fa la la la lolly ting tingledy here and there," of course. The bunchy-bloused, spindly-legged scamp is speaking in rhyme this time, and in typical Eloise fashion, the verse simply can't be perfectly metered, for what would be the point? She rushes around New York's Plaza Hotel on Christmas Eve, jingling, spreading Christmas cheer, tying tassels on the thermostats, and writing "Merry Christmas" on all the walls.
