'Les Girls is an enchanting book of recollection in which a highly gifted and intelligent young lady of the chorus, now safely anchored to a well-ordered life as the wife of a one-time Economic Planner surveys in a backward glance the insecurity, gaiety and hard work of her life as a trouper and, for the time, as a member of the elite of the Folies Bergere.'
