A vintage 1958 Avon Books paperback edition of The World of Henry Orient by Nora Johnson.

Originally published in 1958, this witty coming-of-age novel follows two imaginative New York City schoolgirls whose fascination with a charismatic concert pianist leads to a series of humorous and heartfelt adventures. Blending youthful exuberance with sharp social observation, the novel became the basis for the acclaimed 1964 film of the same name.
