When You Lunch with the Emperor: The Adventures of Ludwig Bemelmans

Used Book in Good Condition

Ludwig Bemelmansâ€”legendary bon vivant and raconteur, and author of the Madeline series as well as the surprise success of 2004, Hotel Bemelmansâ€”lived life like a character in a novel. Wherever Ludwig went and whatever he didâ€”letting Parisian criminals baby-sit his daughter, getting caught with his toenails painted red by the Gestapo, or discovering the only restaurant with toilets in the Amazon jungleâ€”his escapades are guaranteed entertainment.

As Anthony Bourdain says of this new collection, "Whether writing about the backstairs misadventures of cooks and waiters or travel to faraway lands, Bemelmans is always funny, insightful and dead on target. No one has ever surpassed the master." When You Lunch with the Emperor collects Bemelmansâ€™s work under the headings of Childhood, Work, and Play. Readers will enjoy their lunch with the Bemelmans!
