1952Best.-Nr. 16936New York: Random House. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1952. First Edition. Hardcover. some wear to top and bottom edges of covers otherwise a nice clean copy; jacket has a bit of light soiling tiny stain on rear panel. B&W photographs "The first non-musical hit of the season" reads the first jacket blurb -- so of course when Hollywood got around to it the first thing they thought was "hey this thing could really use some songs!" Not a bad decision though since the resulting film managed to not only get past the censors who were concerned because lovely young Gigi was after all "in training" to be a high-class courtesan but also to take home the "Best Picture" Oscar for 1958. The novel was originally published in 1944 and had been filmed in France in 1948. The Broadway version made a star of Audrey Hepburn who is featured in all three of the photographs in this edition but of course they hadda get a real French girl Leslie Caron for the movie. .

1931Best.-Nr. 20127Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1931. First American Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped minimal shelfwear light dust-soiling/spotting to top edge; jacket browned/discolored/faded at spine otherwise just lightly worn and quite attractive Novel about "the darling of the Paris music halls" miserable in her marriage to an unfaithful fop of a husband and her passionate love for "a big simple straightforward landholder from the provinces." Ah it's always the big simple straightforward ones isn't it Especially if they're landholders. The novel based on Colette's own experiences was originally published as "La Vagabonde" in France in 1910 and was adapted into a 1918 silent film "La Vagabonda." Critic James Hopkin celebrated the book's centenary in a rhapsodic 2011 article in The Guardian praising its "energy and inventiveness" and calling it "a rousing novel of love and guile of vulnerability and vituperative wit of poetry and self-empowerment a slim volume scored with little wisdoms sumptuous descriptions and the 'heroic vanity' of an unforgettable cast." Jacketed copies of the original American editions of Colette's novels are all quite scarce. . Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc. hardcover books
