First edition of this collection of stories paying homage to 50 years of Babar; from the library of Maurice Sendak. Small folio, original full crushed morocco with gilt titles to the spine, an illustration of Babar and "Maurice Sendak" stamped in gilt to the front panel, original white satin ribbon marker laid in, illustrated. Association copy, inscribed by the authors to Maurice Sendak on the half-title page with an original drawing of Babar, "To Maurice with all warm thoughts from Babar, Jean de B. and Laurent 9.11.81." Additionally inscribed to Sendak by three others related to the publication of this work. In fine condition. Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are, is often hailed as âthe Picasso of childrenâs books.â He has produced more than 85 books which have populated childrenâs imaginations for years. For his contributions to childrenâs literature, Sendak received the third biennial Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration in 1970, one of two inaugural Astrid Lindgren Memorial Awards in 2003, and the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal from the professional childrenâs librarians in 1983. An exceptional association. Based on a story de Brunhoff's wife created for their children, The Story of Babar was born. It is the tale of a young elephant who escapes a hunter in his native jungle and comes to appreciate the civilization and fine things of the big city. He later returns to the jungle where he is crowned King of the Elephant Kingdom for the wisdom and civility he has gained in his travels. The book enjoyed immediate success upon publication and de Brunhoff went on to publish six more stories in the series before his death in 1937. His son, Laurent de Brunhoff, carried on the series and it was made into an animated television series in Canada which ran a total of 65 episodes between 1889 and 1991. "Like an extravagant piece of poetry, the interplay between few words and many pictures, commonly called the picture book, is a difficult, exquisite, and most easily collapsible form that few have mastered.Jean de Brunhoff was a master of this form. Between 1931 and 1937 he completed a body of work that forever changed the face of the illustrated book" (Maurice Sendak).

304:495 mm. Signed at lower left: "Laur de Brunhoff". A charming, large-format watercolour showing Celesteville, the capital of "Le pays des Éléphants", Babar's Kingdom. The illustration was used as a double-page spread in "Babar à la fête de Célesteville" (1954) and thus bears a few pencilled marks by the printer in the blank margins. - The children's classic, Babar, began as a bedtime story that Cécile de Brunhoff told her young sons, Laurent and Mathieu, in 1930, when they were five and four years old, respectively. They loved the story about the little elephant so much that they asked their father, who was an artist, to draw pictures for them of the elephant world their mother had described. He did and eventually created a book, Histoire de Babar: le petit éléphant (The Story of Babar), which was published by Jardin des Modes, a family-run publishing house. Jean de Brunhoff created six more Babar books. - De Brunhoff, who holds both French and American citizenship, was made an Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur. - Perfectly preserved.

On two sheets, each signed "LB" or "Laur de Brunhoff". 305:210 mm. The first of the charming watercolours shows Babar preparing for his trip by changing his crown to a black hat and packing his suitcases. The others show Babar boarding his plane and the famous elephant visiting a jazz club and an antique store in New York after his arrival in the United States. Prefectly preserved, from the Ralph Esmerian Collection, New York.
