This novella is a series of letters an American flapper on an extended vacation in France sends to her paramour back in the United States. It is a take on Anita Looss best-selling novel Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, making this a marvelous association copy. Even though its purpose was commercial, the book is amusingly written, very much worthy of the novel that was its inspiration. Moreover, its illustrations, which are frequent and in color, are divine.
