Auntie Mame Hardcover - 1954

by Patrick Dennis

With an Introduction by Paul Rudnick and a swank new cover, "Auntie Mame" is back in print, the classic novel that introduced the world to America's most madcap, fun-loving, and irresistible aunt. Afterword by Michael Tanner.


From the publisher

Wildly successful when it was first published in 1955, Patrick Dennis' Auntie Mame sold over two million copies and stayed put on the "New York Times" bestseller list for 112 weeks. It was made into a play, a Broadway as well as a Hollywood musical, and a fabulous movie starring Rosalind Russell. Since then, Mame has taken her rightful place in the pantheon of Great and Important People as the world's most beloved, madcap, devastatingly sophisticated, and glamorous aunt. She is impossible to resist, and this hilarious story of an orphaned ten-year-old boy sent to live with his aunt is as delicious a read in the twenty-first century as it was in the 1950s.
