Mrs. Harris Goes to New York by Paul Gallico

Book itself in lovely condition, DJ damaged.

Mrs. Harris Goes to New York does, indeed, see Mrs. Harris travel off to see the Empire State. This time, though, its not with a dress in mind, though she and her friend Violet Butterfield (familiarly Vi) are off to reunite a mistreated adopted boy with his long-lost American father.

In case you havent encountered Mrs. Harris before, she is a no-nonsense, salt-of-the-earth charlady, who (in the first book) unexpectedly develops an all-abiding passion to own a Christian Dior dress like the one she has seen in the wardrobe of one of the women for whom she works. Mrs. Harris is a wonderful creation speaking her mind, with its curious mixture of straight-talking and dewy-eyed romance. Romance for adventure, that is, not for menfolk Mr. Harris is good and buried before the series begins.
