*****
The book: Attractive and rare FIRST French EDITION of Babar & Father Christmas. BABAR is an elephant character who first appeared here, in 1931, in the French children's book Histoire de Babar by Jean de Brunhoff. In this particular story, Arthur, Pom, Flora, and Alexander, the royal elephant children, together with their monkey pal, Zephir, write Father Christmas a wish list letter and are disappointed when they don't get a reply. This ultimately leads to Babar's realization that the Elephants' Country needs to be included in Santa's regular route, so he goes to heroic lengths to make his children's' wishes come true. Babar and Father Christmas become fast friends and Father Christmas even gets to take a much-needed rest in the tropical climate of Babar's country.
