Catalogue Note
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY A.A. MILNE, which ends: "If you who are grown-up have never been fascinated by a picture-book before, then this is the one which will fascinate you. If you who are a child do not take these enchanting people into your heart... then you deserve to wear gloves and be kept off wet grass for the rest of your life... I salute M. de Brunhoff. I am at his feet."
