laird loves ebay: ludwig bemelmans
July 28, 2008 9:51 am
New Yorkers know Austrian-American Ludwig Bemelmans from the Carlyle Hotel, where his whimsical drawings cover the walls of the bar that bears his name. Having read all of his “Madeline” books, I discovered that he had written lots of stories for grown-ups too, and I am slowly savoring them. “Hotel Bemelmans,” which is about his experience working at the Ritz-Carlton in the twenties and thirties, is my favorite, but I also enjoyed “On Board Noah’s Ark,” which was an especially good find because it features a babysitting dog, the Riviera, and color plates of Bemelmans’ whimsical drawings.
