Kay Thompson
Presents a tribute to the Hollywood entertainer-turned-author. Covers her close friendship with Judy Garland, contributions as a celebrity trainer, and creation of the mischievous six-year-old Plaza mascot, Eloise.
Eloise
Eloise lives with her nanny at The Plaza Hotel in New York. The daughter of extremely rich parents, she is left daily to her own devices. She knows everything about The Plaza and everyone in it. Henry James would want to study her. Queen Victoria would recognise her as an Equal. The New York Jets would want to have her on their side. Lewis Carroll would love her (once he got over the initial shock). Her antics are hilarious, her characterisation of those around her, perfect and whether you are about to fall in love with Eloise or you already adore her, you ought to have this book.
Show and Tell
Explores the work fo twelve contemporary illustators of children's books and discusses the techniques and features of effective illustration across a variety of styles and media.
Andre Kostelanetz on Records and on the Air
An important extra in the book is a survey of Kostelanetz's career and on evaluation of his achievements, contributed by noted radio historian Dick O'Connor. A foreword by Barbara Haws, archivist and historian of the New York Philharmonic, completes this invaluable reference. --Book Jacket.
Kay Thompson's Eloise Takes a Bawth
While Nanny dear unsuspectingly watches her soap opera, and Mr Salomone, the Plaza's manager, prepares for the charity event of the year, a Masked Venetian Ball, Eloise takes a bawth. She bolts the bathroom door with a backbrush and turns on every faucet and tap in sight and begins her willful water mischief in a glamorous fantasy bath world complete with Skipperdee and Weenie to boot. SLAWSH! The Plaza has flooded! The Grand Ball Room is in pandemonium! Who? Who? Who is the culprit? Mr Salomone and the Plaza head engineer follow the flow of water and discover that the trouble began with a certain precocious little girl up on the very top floor - none other than our very own favourite Eloise, who of course, as only she can, manages to turn the catastrophe into a fantastic sensation and be crowned Little mermaid of the Masked Venntian Ball. Belissimo!

DeMille, John and Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, Billy Wilder, Tennessee Williams, Dan Aykroyd, Johnny Depp, Cary Grant, and Susan Sarandon—descriptions of each patient show the impact of treatment on patients’ lives, for better or worse.
