About This Item

The First UK printing published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1928. The BOOK is in Very Good++ or better condition. A very slight lean with slight pushing and fading at the spine ends. Gilt titling remains bright. Original green boards with pictorial end-papers. Free from inscriptions and erasures. Small bookseller sticker to the rear lower pastedown. Light toning to the text-block. The WRAPPER is neatly price-clipped and is in Very Good+ condition. A little loss at the spine ends and mild edge-wear. Some toning and rubbing to the spine and edges. Two small closed tears to the front spine folds and some mild age related marking in places but less so than usually encountered. The wrapper looks striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. Unattributed B/W illustrations at the beginning of every chapter. Translated from the German by Whittaker Chambers and with an introduction by John Galsworthy. The basis for the Disney classic adaptation. Very elusive title with such attributes. Collectible. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.

Synopsis

Immerse yourself in a young deerâÈçs world in this resplendent, collectible edition of the richly imagined and vividly illustrated masterpiece that inspired the beloved Disney film. Bambi lives in a thicket in the forest. From his kind and caring mother, to all the friends he makes among the forestâÈçs inhabitants, to his twin cousins Faline and Gobo, he is surrounded by animals who wish him well. But there are dangers within and surrounding the forest, and all too soon they will make themselves known. A beautifully written and critically acclaimed classic that has been translated into more than twenty languages and inspired one of the most beloved Disney films of all time, Bambi is an emotionally wrought exploration of family that also serves as a powerful allegory of modern times. This keepsake edition showcases luminous oil-painting illustrations by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher and features a soft touch cover, gold foiling, and tip-in artwork.
