Description: 4to (28.5 x 19.5 cms). 68 unpaginated pages, the two centre pages comprising a double-spread fold-out. Orange paper-covered boards; black lettering and pictorial design to upper board; black lettering to the spine. Pictorial endpapers. Dust jacket. CONDITION.

The corners very slightly bumped; the upper corners rubbed and on the lower board a little frayed; top and bottom edges a little rubbed; a 1 cm tear to the top of the lower joint, slight indentations to the surface of the spine at crown and toe: fairly minor imperfections but imperfections nonetheless. The left hand flap of the centre fold-out has a crease, doubtless from careless closing of the book, but is otherwise undamaged. Some of the pages have small marks as from handling by grubby fingers. The bottom edge of some of the leaves have barely perceptible undulations. Otherwise internally very good. The dust jacket is creased, and has some small chips and closed tears, along its top and bottom edges, affecting in particular the spine and the rear part of the jacket; has more severe tears along the hinge of the rear flap; is grubby; and is price-clipped.

DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Eloise gets more outlandish with each book in Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight's popular 1950s series. First published in 1959--when cold war sentiments were heating up--Eloise in Moscow showcases the highly undiplomatic exploits of our favorite precocious 6-year-old as she paints the town red with her beloved Nanny. Adults will relish this glimpse behind the Iron Curtain, complete with a foldout spread of the Kremlin that is positively suitable for framing ("Here's what they/ have in the Kremlin/ armor Easter eggs/ icons/ and clocks," "Ivan is terrible/ and is watching in this tower"). The usual pink, black, and white color scheme is absent here--Knight's pen-and-ink drawings are instead accented with a rich goldenrod, and in the foldout Kremlin, even oranges and greens. E-096; 11.0 X 8.0 X 1.0 inches; 80 pages

Condition: Near Fine
Description: A Near Fine book in like dust jacket. Book with a small bump to the lower board and the spine a bit rolled. In a Near Fine dust jacket with a few professionally repaired tears. Inscribed by the author: "For Jane with love Kay Thompson and me Eloise Dadada." A pleasing copy of this children's classic, which finds the intrepid Eloise away from the Plaza Hotel on an international adventure. Eloise and Nanny discover that "not everyone in Moscow is a diplomat" and a host of other revelations, such as the "rawther deep" voices of Russian pigeons. This title in the Eloise series was published in 1959 at the height of the Cold War when tensions between the USSR and USA were outright hostile and the threat of mutually assured destruction reassured no one. Eloise brings her disarming candor to Moscow where despite her admission that "I could tell you a lot but I am only 6," we do in fact learn and laugh with this precocious 6 year old.

Description: First edition of the fourth book in the Eloise series. Thin quarto, original cloth, illustrated throughout. Boldly signed by Kay ThompsonÂon the front free endpaper. Additionally signed by illustrator, Hilary Knight. Bottom of the cloth rubbed, near fine in a near fine dust jacket with a touch of rubbing. Illustrated by Hilary Knight. The fourth book in Kay Thompson's beloved Eloise series. After a three-week stay in Moscow with her colleague Hilary Knight, Kay Thompson had plenty of fodder for her distinctly Eloisian travelogue: the food ("It is difficult to know what to eat in Moscow/ There is no melon in season/ Nichevo"); the stilted English of their tour guide ("That house is Chekhov/ That house is Stanislavsky if you want to see it/ No you cannot it is reconstruction"); national security ("Our telephone had quite a bit of static/ so we talked about General de Gaulle/ to throw them off track/ Everybody listens to everything in Moscow."
