Pardon My French is a book of illustrated French colloquialisms, mostly having to do with sex and food, compiled by Kathryn Hyman, an ex-pat, living in Paris. She was certain this book would be published, but not so far. Lael Wertenbaker, who wrote the Hemingway bio for Time-Life, then in her 80s, loved the book and immediately called her old publishers at Little, Brown and Houghton-Mifflin. Both of them were as old as she and out of the business. I illustrated these expressions in the mid-Nineties, but many of them seem to be chronicles of another time. Here are the first fifty of ninety drawings.
