The Eloise series by Kay Thompson, originally published between 1955 and 1959, remains one of the most beloved and iconic children's book collections of the 20th century. The four books—Eloise (Third Impr, 1958 - Red cloth in good condition. Damaged DJ - chipped with large piece missing. No markings), Eloise in Paris, (First Edition, 1958 - Fair/poor: Faded spine with markings on blue cloth and title page. No DJ.). Eloise at Christmastime, (First Edition, 1959 - Red cloth in good condition. Chipped DJ with some loss and repaired with tape . No markings). and Eloise in Moscow ( First Edition, 1960 - Green cloth with bumping on spine and corners. Chipped and worn DJ with some loss. No markings). Set against glamorous backdrops, including the Plaza Hotel in New York, Paris, Moscow, and the festive holiday season, these stories are brought to life through the whimsical and expressive illustrations of Hilary Knight. The books capture the essence of childhood curiosity and rebellion, making Eloise an endearing figure who has charmed generations of readers. From her hilarious antics in Paris, where she befriends city dwellers with a confident flair, to her holiday escapades at the Plaza, where she embraces the magic of Christmas in her own unconventional way, the series provides a vibrant and humorous look at a child’s limitless imagination. The Moscow installment, a fascinating Cold War-era addition, takes Eloise on a whirlwind adventure in the Soviet Union, adding an element of cultural intrigue to the series. Whether treasured by collectors or introduced to new readers, the Eloise books continue to hold a special place in literary history, celebrated for their unique storytelling, expressive artwork, and timeless charm.
