Set in the author's ancestral Tyrol. Bemelmans can accommodate in one story the life of the honest people that he loves and the antics of the hotel crowd, both above stairs and below... It is the happy combination of the touching and the absurd that gives this novel, even more than his others, its special Bemelmans flavor.
