Ludwig Bemelmans was an Austrian author, an internationally known 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. A lesser known book was written after Bemelmans traveled to Quito, Ecuador. This book, Quito Express was originally published in 1938 by Viking Press. The story has not been shared as widely as the Madeline series but the story is an important one.
