Babar!: The 6 Unabridged Classics by the Creator of Babar by Jean De Brunhoff, Kevin Henkes (Introduction)
Seven decades after Babar was born, the world is still very much in
love with the noble elephant. Before his untimely death at age 37, Jean
de Brunhoff wrote and illustrated six stories about Babar and his friends
and family. In this exquisite gift edition, every one of these stories
is included, with not a word or picture left out. From The Story of Babar--in
which the elephant is born, loses his mother, runs off to Paris, and returns
to be crowned king--through The Travels of Babar, Babar the King, Babar
and Zephir, Babar and His Children, and Babar and Father Christmas, the
beloved pachyderm's incredible life adventures are chronicled for our reading
pleasure. In his introduction, picture book author-illustrator Kevin Henkes
writes, "Where else could one find a balloon accident, a deadly poison
mushroom, a runaway carriage, an extraordinary flying machine, a snake
attack, fire, war, death, birth? These books are full of adventure and
fantasy, but they also deal with the stuff of real life. And I'm convinced
children long to see both the dark and the light sides of human experience
reflected in their books just as much as adults do, perhaps more." Adults
who truly wish to share the joys of the classics with the children in their
lives could do no better than to present them with this grand collection.
