BABAR AT HOME

1938 · London

by de Brunhoff, Jean
London: Methuen & Co, 1938. First English edition. Very good plus.. First UK edition of Jean de Brunhoff's penultimate Babar book, the charming story of the youngest children of the elephant family. 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.
