With a wit as sharp as a vodka stinger and a heart as free as her spirit\, Auntie Mame burst onto the literary scene in 1955--and today remains one of the most unforgettable characters in co ntemporary fiction.
\nWildly successful when it was first published in 1955\, Patrick Dennis&rsquo\; \;Auntie Mame \;sold over two mil lion copies and stayed put on the \;New York Times \;bestseller li st for 112 weeks. It was made into a play\, a Broadway and a Hollywood mus ical\, and a fabulous movie starring Rosalind Russell. Since then\, Mame h as taken her rightful place in the pantheon of Great and Important People as the world&rsquo\;s most beloved\, madcap\, devastatingly sophisticated\ , and glamorous aunt. She is impossible to resist\, and this hilarious sto ry of an orphaned ten-year-old boy sent to live with his aunt is as delici ous a read in the twenty-first century as it was in the 1950s.
\nFol low the rollicking adventures of this unflappable flapper as seen through the wide eyes of her young\, impressionable nephew and discover anew or fo r the first time why Mame has made the world a more wonderful place.
\n"Outrageous\, hilarious\, ribald\, sophisticated\, slapsatiric." The De nver Post
