Author
Ludwig Bemelmans was an Austrian author, an internationally known gourmet, and a writer and illustrator of children's books. He is most noted today for his Madeline books, six of which were published from 1939-1961. A seventh was discovered after his death and published posthumously in 1999.Ludwig Bemelmans

Overview
" Bemelmans' Hansi is one of the bright spots of the past two years in juveniles, and I feel that he fills a very special need. His books have so much -- and such entertaining and descriptive -- illustration that the text is a temptation to the beginner and eggs him on, and the young listener is able to add on his own through the aid of the pictures. This is a more advanced story than the other -- even grown ups learn a good deal of Bruges and the life there in this story of the children who went with their father and stayed at The Golden Basket inn. The special quality of naivete and sophistication combined make Bemelmans' pictures, perfectly reproduced, a joy in themselves". Kirkus Review /

The Golden Basket is a children's novel written and illustrated by Ludwig Bemelmans. It tells the story of a family's visit to Bruges and marks the first appearance of the author's best-known character, Madeline. The novel was first published in 1936 and was a Newbery Honor recipient in 1937.

The novel draws on the author's experience of hotel life—he was raised in his father's hotel in Austria and worked in American hotels as a young man. A visit to Belgium with his wife provided the inspiration for the setting. The illustrations show many of the sights of Bruges.<ref name="NC"

Critical Reception

 * Many critics found Harlem Summer to be Hilarious as well as educational, well written and filled with great representations of the Harlem Renaissances.
 * Reading in Color:Male Monday:Harlem Summer, assert that in certain parts of the book it became annoying how the luck of Mark seem to be in his favor when faced with grave situations that he didn't always realize. However in their blog that they didn't mind the contents of the book in how it captures several sad moments because the blogs writer wasn't in the mood for sad reads right now.
 * Reading in color asserted that their personal favorite was "I Am Taken To Jail Like A Common Thug, Given The Third Degree, But Am Saved By My Reputation As An International Gangster, Bad Man, And The New Breed of Criminal." (pg. 134)
 * However Reading in Color believed it seems to be written for young readers as an introduction to Harlem during the '20's, Mark meets some of the most famous people of the time. He also visits famous places, reads famous newspaper, etc. I just wish we learned more about the characters, instead they are simply commented upon as they pass by.
