First edition, first printing of this American literary classic, Capote’s admitted favorite literary creation. Our narrator, a writer, recalls his earlier days in New York when he meets Holly Golightly, a café society girl who lives basically from date to date socializing with wealthier men. The iconic Holly, certainly a favorite character of both Capote and Hollywood, was made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 Oscar-winning film. The other three stories in the books include House of flowers, A diamond guitar, and A Christmas memory.
