By (author) Truman Capote


A beautifully designed edition of Truman Capotes dazzling New York novel Breakfast at Tiffanys, which inspired the classic 1961 film starring Audrey Hepburn

What Ive found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffanys. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there, not with those kind men in their nice suits...

Meet Holly Golightly - a free spirited, lop-sided romantic girl about town. With her tousled blond hair and upturned nose, dark glasses and chic black dresses, Holly is a style sensation wherever she goes. Her apartment rocks to Martini-soaked parties and she plays hostess to millionaires and gangsters alike. Yet Holly never loses sight of her ultimate dream - to find a real life place like Tiffanys that makes her feel at home.

Full of sharp wit and exuberant, larger-than-life characters which vividly capture the restless, madcap era of 1940s New York, Breakfast at Tiffanys will make you fall in love, perhaps for the first time, with a book.

A master writer ... makes the heart sing and the narrative fly The New York Times
