The Breeziest Books on Parisian Life
"For delightful reading one can turn with pleasant anticipations certain of fulfilment to F. Berkeley Smith's triology of books on Paris life, 'The Real Latin Quarter' and 'How Paris Amuses Itself,' and the latest volume just out, 'Parisians Out of Doors.'"--Burlington Hawk Eye.
Parisians Out of Doors
By F. BERKELEY SMITH
Author of "How Paris Amuses Itself" and "The Real
Latin Quarter"
"It is a kaleidoscopic miscellany of anecdote, grave and gay; brief bits of biography and impressionistic portrayal of types, charming glimpses into Parisian life and character, and, above all, descriptions of the city's chief, and, to outward view, sole occupation--the art of enjoying oneself. Tourists have learned that Mr. Smith is able to initiate them into many mysteries uncatalogued or only guardedly hinted at by more staidly respectable and professional guides."--The Globe, New York.
"Smith's delightfully sympathetic Paris [Parisians Out of Doors] would make a wooden Indian part with his cigars."--Frederic Remington.
"Naturally, these scenes and places and the persons who add the living touches to the pictures are described from the viewpoint of one who knows them well, for Mr. Smith holds the world of Paris in the hollow of his hand. This is an ideal book for summer reading."--New York Press.
12mo, cloth, handsome binding, illustrated with drawings by the author and several French artists, and water-color frontispiece by F. Hopkinson Smith $1.50 post-paid.
