Babar et le Père Noël (Babar and Father Christmas).
Brunhoff, Jean de (1899-1937).
Folio. Unpaginated. Original illustrated dustjacket over cloth-backed color illustrated boards. Decorative endpapers. Illustrated title-page. Fascinating work of one of the world's most successful authors of children's literature. Babar et le Père Noël was published posthumously, using illustrations and story developed by Jean de Brunhoff. The pictures, however, were done in black and white and the color was added by a youthful Laurent (the author's son). Some edge wear on dustjacket with some chipping along edges and on head and tail of spine. Minor abrasions on both covers of DJ. Corners of binding slightly rubbed. Text in French. Dustjacket in overall fair, binding and interior in very good condition.
