Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris and Mrs. Harris Goes to New York

De: Paul Gallico

Narrado por: Juliet Stevenson

Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris: Mrs. Harris is a salt-of-the-earth London charlady who cheerfully cleans the houses of the rich. One day, when tidying Lady Dant's wardrobe, she comes across the most beautiful thing she has ever seen in her life—a Dior dress. In all the years of her drab and humble existence, she's never seen anything as magical as the dress before her and she's never wanted anything as much before. Determined to make her dream come true, Mrs. Harris scrimps, saves, and slaves away until one day, after three long, uncomplaining years, she finally has enough money to go to Paris.

When she arrives at the House of Dior, Mrs. Harris has little idea of how her life is about to be turned upside down and how many other lives she will transform forever. Always kind, always cheery, and always winsome, the indomitable Mrs. Harris takes Paris by storm and learns one of life's greatest lessons along the way.

Mrs. Harris Goes to New York: Mrs. Harris is back! A little boy, whose father was a GI, is being ill-treated. So when she is asked to go to New York with one of her clients to keep house for her, she smuggles the lad with her to try to find his father.

Such a fun story with great characters

I loved the movie and thoroughly enjoyed the book. Hoping to read more of Mrs Harris’ adventures!

delightful

The narrator was excellent. Easy to visualized. Didn't want the book to end. Loved it!

The depth of the characters.

All falls together around a plot not quite predictable. Colorful but simple imagery. A very satisfying series so far.

Sweet Stories

Charming story!

Mrs. Harris is charming, quick, witted, and adorable. The novel is a little far-fetched, but sweet and innocent. The characters in each story are well presented and thoroughly enjoyable. Enjoy!
