Babar at home : illustrated typescript for an English television adaptation of Jean de Brunhoff's book "Babar en famille", undated [after 1938].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/270995087

The artist of this illustrated typescript is unknown; it is not in the hand of either of the authors of the Babar series, Jean or Laurent de Brunhoff. It is believed to have been prepared for a BBC production of Jean de Brunhoff's book "Babar en famille" (translated as "Babar at Home" in England and "Babar and His Children" in the United States). It has been suggested that this illustrated typescript was prepared for a production for the BBC children's series "Blue Peter," but the BBC archives does not have a record of a production of "Babar at Home" on that television show. The story was read by Maurice Roeves on the BBC series "Jackanory" on May 28, 1975, but this show did not have a format that would have accomodated an illustrated story such as this one.

1 item (175 p.) ; wrappers 12.1 x 18.1 cm; individual sheets 11.2 x 17.5 cm.
