"Cornelia and Emily's escapades in Europe are legendary and definitely resonate for any other young impressionable person who has traveled the continent to "experience life". I reread this one on a regular basis, and always chuckle in some place different from the last. Most recently it was the section on the bedbugs. I passed it along to a friend, who did the same shaking laughing I do when in the PATH - and begged to borrow the book. High compliment indeed when she emailed: It has moved to my bathtub reading - and I find myself taking more baths...."
"I was first introduced to this book by a college friend - the first edition with sprightly line illustrations and the special war edition (print going near the edges of the page). From the get-go I was in love, perhaps because I was about the age of Cornelia and Emily, and I wanted to go to Europe like they did.
Eventually I did go, even visiting a few of the same places (St. Valery en Caux, the Cluny Museum) and I was reminded of their adventures - very tame by today's standards but still funny.
Skinner's writing is a bit wordy and passe compared to how it might be written today, and I had to go to my French-English dictionary more than once. That's part of the charm of this memoir of the 1920's."
"It had me laughing uncontrollably and so hard tears were running down my face. Highly, HIGHLY recommended. (Her other works didn't have the same power over me -- not sure if they aren't as good as this title, or my expecttions were too high ...)"
"I read this a number of years ago as an early teen. I convinced my cousin to read it and we entertained our parents with retelling parts of the young girls adventures."
