A sixtieth anniversary edition of the classic story about the intrepid young resident at New York City's Plaza Hotel is complemented by illustrator sketches and anecdotes as well as by photographs of the author when she was Eloise's age.
Six-year-old Eloise loves to take a bath, which is bad news for Mr. Salomone and the elegant people gathering below in the Plaza's Grand Ball Room for the charity event of the season, a Masked Ball.
