Features: Little Edie is a little girl who isn’t particularly beautiful, but she’s already grown up. If you bring her home, you’ll be happy forever, I promise! “Little Edie is one of the most famous protagonists in children’s literature.” – The New York Times “Little Edie undoubtedly caused a huge sensation overnight.” – Variety “Little Edie is truly an extraordinary little treasure!” – Time The Little Edie series consists of 3 books: Little Edie Is Here, Little Edie in Paris, and Little Edie’s Bath. “My name is Little Edie, and I’m 6 years old.” Little Edie’s story begins like this. She’s a chirpy little girl like a bird, living in the grand and luxurious New York Hotel. She’s very confident, with eyebrows always raised defiantly, leaning her arms on her legs. Little Edie’s motto is: “No boring things are allowed.” Therefore, she fills every day with magical adventures and arranges many “jobs” for herself. Her day usually goes like this: First, she scratches the ears of a tortoise, then orders the room service to bring “a steak, raisins, and seven spoons,” and then racks her brains to come up with new ways to torment the adults passing by. Little Edie Is Here was published in 1955 and was initially just a cheap little book, but it quickly sparked a significant wave in the United States. Life magazine once named Little Edie as the most controversial female protagonist of the year, describing her as a little snake—charming yet a little intimidating. Kay Thompson’s unique creativity successfully shaped the image of a mischievous little girl, and Hillary Knight’s illustrations perfectly capture Little Edie’s playfulness and cuteness. For decades, Little Edie’s image has been favored by countless readers around the world. Whether it’s her imaginative little mind, her exciting adventures, or even her mischievous little dog and tortoise, she has deeply resonated with audiences. Children envy Little Edie’s free and happy life, while adults pick up the book, searching for memories of their own childhood joys.
