New York: Random House, 1941. Very good in very good dust jacket.. First French-language edition (published during WWII in the US) of Jean de Brunhoff's final Babar title, in which Babar makes the long trip to enlist Father Christmas's help. The BABAR series has delighted generations of young children around the world. The de Brunhoffs' simple and stylish art is widely praised for being "comprehensible and entertaining even if one didn't know the language" (Bader, 547). The BABAR books set the tempo for all picture books that followed: their "large format, fine litho-printing and hand-written text" fueled the "visual triumph" (Whalley and Chester, 189) of the picture book in the 1930s. This New York-printed French edition of BABAR ET LE PÈRE NOËL was published simultaneously with the edition printed in France; it followed the US English language edition only by a year. This was Jean de Brunhoff's final BABAR title before his death - the series was continued by his son Laurent starting in 1948. A… Read More
