Review
A book for precocious grownups, about a little girl who lives at the Plaza Hotel, says the blurb on the front of this favourite - which is true, except that it gives no clue to Eloise's inventiveness, her energy and her naughtiness. For example, The absolutely first thing I have to do [when I wake up] is braid Skipperdee's ears [Skipperdee is a pet tortoise] Otherwise he gets cross and develops a rash. Age 4-100 - review by Johnny de Falbe
