The journalist Drew Pearson in his Washington Merry-Go-Round column described this book better than I ever could: "Only a few writers, competent to the extent that they need not even think about technique, can write a novel without a plot, idea or message. In Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, Bemelmans establishes himself as one of those elite novelist-raconteurs. This is Bemelmans' first novel, or at any rate the first of his books that he or his publishers have decided to call a novel, but you will not find it unfamiliar. Here again is the world of chartered yachts, de luxe hotels, expensive women, vintage wines, a world in which the limitations of time and space are all but overcome by money. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is a fantasy about fantastic people." Bemelmans was a native of a part of French-speaking Austria that is now in Italy; English was his third language, after French and German. He is best known today for the Madeline picture book series, but he was a talented writer and illustrator of books for adults too. 299 pages. First edition (first printing). A near fine copy in a special cloth binding with an illustrated paper label on the front board. The book is accompanied by a slipcase that has minor wear at the corners. This is copy lettered "J", a designation not mentioned on the colophon.
