The gifted and exuberant Ludwig Bemelmans was trained as a boy for a career as a restauranteur, and La Bonne Table is in effect his gastonomical autobiography. The high "¬¬" and sometimes riotous low "¬¬" points of his life with food, from Austrian cafes to the late, lamented Ritz of New York, are narrated with delight and zest as he celebrates beer and sausages, pressed duck and caviar, and the chefs who cooked for him. He remembers with decidedly mixed emotions the ways of the busboy and the waiter, and the qualities that make up the perfect maitre d'. He muses over great menus and great eaters "¬¬" and soon makes the reader very hungry. Here, truly, is a feast of reading, as a lost world of luxury and elegance is brilliantly evoked and savored. Bemelmans' extraordinary charm captivated all who met him; it glows through the pages of La Bonne Table.

Ludwig Bemelmans is best known as the author and illustrator of the beloved Madeline children¿s series. He was born in Meran, a city in Austria-Hungary, and moved to the United States, where he worked in hotels and restaurants to fund his dream of becoming an artist. He got his chance in the 1930s, when he befriended May Massee, the children¿s book editor at Viking Press. In addition to his children¿s books, he wrote and illustrated several books for adults, many of which are, like Madeline, homages to his beloved Paris.
