Here the reader finds less of the art galleries, churches, and museums than of the “life of Paris, and above all, the joy of the life of Paris.... The streets and boulevards, the cafés and restaurants, the various forms of amusement, the poverty and the picturesqueness of the shiftless and generous students of the Latin Quartier, and many other phases of Parisian existence, are rendered in all their lights and shades with astonishing accuracy.” (Ind.)
“It is a great accomplishment to have caught as much of it all within the pages of one book as the Menpes have done.” May Estelle Cook.
