The search for love is the theme of this French flavored tale in which the Duc de Montfort-Lamoury's adventures with women give Bemelmans a chance to distill the essence of Paris, food and drinks, the countryside and the Gallic attitude.
Loosely based on the life of Bemelmans' friend Armand de la Rouchefoucauld.
Dust jacket is covered with mylar jacket protector
