The Selbys

It's My Fair Lady in Paris in this long-lost, wildly entertaining, highly acclaimed bestseller, finally back in print for the first time in over 90 years.Vivacious but penniless Barbara Winship leaves Savannah to live in 1930s Paris with the Selbys, her lovable middle-aged Aunt and Uncle from the Old South, who've managed to fit in comfortably with the French bourgeoise... and are determined to see that their niece does, too. But she's a beautiful charmer, and if they aren't careful, it's their lives that are going to change."A delightful book. It is written with zest, with the greatest of gaiety and good will. The whole story is rollicking and real....very refreshing and very human." New York Times"Let us thank Anne Green for proving a book may be written of American life in Paris away from the pattern of Ernest Hemingway. She has written with a simplicity of heart, quaint humor, and the power to see and feel the drama of the panorama which passes before her." Oakland Tribune"Green has created her own world and it isn't like any other cosmos in contemporary fiction. Thoroughly delightful and unusual comedy." Saturday Review of Literature"It a clever novel. It is a darn sight cleverer than anything you can say about it." Philadelphia Record"No mere critic can capture on paper the exact effervescent quality that is to be found in an Anne Green story. There is a madcap quality that is irresistible." Palm Beach Post"A mirth-provoking surprise. Combines humor with wisdom in a blend of iridescent charm. Such writing is rare." Philadelphia Inquirer"A light-hearted and engaging tale. Green achieves a delightful interplay of national traits. The resultant mixture is fine and subtle comedy." Dayton Herald"A witty, sparkling account of life in Paris as lived by Americans there -- extremely entertaining. Green writes with a combination of naivete and sophistication." Savannah Press"Reveals an astonishingly subtle insight into the follies and foibles of utterly human folk and influences us to love them for, and despite, those very follies and foibles."
