Synopsis

Little Me tells the rags-to-riches story of Belle Poitrine, nee Schlumpfert, who rises from the slums of Venezuela, Illinois to become a celebrated movie star and memoirist.

At the tender age of sixteen, a naive but very well-endowed Belle meets the richest boy in town, Noble Eggleston, and the two instantly fall in love. Noble cannot marry her, though, until she achieves wealth, culture, and social position.

Belle's pursuit of these goals propels her story, which takes her to such unlikely places as the trenches of France during World War II, the men's room of a movie studio in Hollywood, a tiny duchy in Europe called Rosenzweig, and the deck of the S.S. Gigantic.

In the course of her quest for the wealth, culture, and social position that will permit her marriage to Noble, Belle embarks on an extravagant and varied career.

In each adventure, Belle is accompanied by an admiring male, and each startling resolution moves her one step closer to her goal.
