To The One I Love The Best Episodes from the Life of Lady Mendle (Elsie de Wolfe) details the friendship of Ludwig Bemelmans and the iconic Elsie de Wolfe.
Elsie de Wolfe has been the subject of several biographies due to her incredible talents and eccentric personal charm and whit. Born in New York City and educated in Scotland. She was presented at court to Queen Victoria. She surprised many by pursuing a career in acting; however, her knack for interior design brought her much acclaim and fortune. She was a true eccentric and was one of the first women to tint her hair blue. She was a fan of yoga and her party trick was to stand on her head! She later married Sir Charles Mendl, who told Bemelmans that "She is a remarkable woman...utterly selfish and at the same time irresponsibly generous. She is incapable of adjustment to the life of our day."
