A COMPLETE SET OF THIS COLLECTION OF MINIATURE CHILDREN'S BOOKS BY THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY, PUBLISHED BY THE LARGEST PUBLISHER IN SPAIN, SATURNINO CALLEJA.

It is practically impossible to find collections such as the one we are offering, complete, in its original condition and, most important, with ALL of the copies in first edition, published in 1936: Due to the popularity of this collection, each one of these little books was republished in subsequent years. In each of the collections we have examined we have found a mix of editions-. This is why we consider this collection as practically unique.

Calleja's greatness as a publisher is clearly evident in the collections he offered on the market in easy to manage editions, economical and attractive. These stories in a miniature edition, in an oblong format, relating to Disney characters, ushered in the novelty of including illustrations not only on the cover, but also within the text. They were published for the first time in 1936 and consulted by children for their games, becoming instant collectible pieces, and used as well by commercial companies for their ad campaigns.
