Cornelia Otis Skinner was born on January 30, 1899, in Chicago, Illinois. She was a renowned American writer, actress, and humorist known for her wit and literary talent. Skinner gained fame for her sharp observational humor and contributions to American literature and theater in the early 20th century.
Two ingenues "do the Continent" pre-WWII. Skinner takes us from the innocence of youth in the 1920s to the dawn of WWII, replete with all the faux pas and fiascoes you would expect from youth taking Europe on their own in the early part of the twentieth century when innocence still existed and innuendo was unheard of. A great read.
