It's New York in the 1940s, where the martinis flow from
cocktail hour till breakfast at Tiffany's. And nice girls don't,
except, of course, Holly Golightly. Pursued by Mafia gangsters and
playboy millionaires, Holly is a fragile eyeful of tawny hair and
turned-up nose, a heart-breaker, a perplexer, a traveller, a tease.
She is irrepressibly 'top banana in the shock department', and one
of the shining flowers of American fiction. This edition also
contains three stories: 'House of Flowers', 'A Diamond Guitar' and
'A Christmas Memory'.
'One of the twentieth century's most gorgeously romantic
fictions.'
