Penguin Main Series #1393. 1st Edition, 1959.
Actress Cornelia Otis Skinner and journalist Emily Kimbrough offer a lighthearted, hilarious memoir of their European tour in the 1920s, when they were fresh out of college from Bryn Mawr College. The book captures the misadventures and cultural mishaps encountered by the pair traveling as "innocents abroad" in England and France. Written in the first person from Skinner's perspective, the narrative emphasizes gentle humor, youthful innocence, and the comedy arising from their naivety, currency confusions, and repeated minor disasters during the sea voyage and stays in places such as Normandy, Rouen, and Paris.
Condition grading: Good. Minor wear to ends of slightly grubby spine. Light creases and light foxing to both covers. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
