Item Description
7.5x9.25" hardcover ©1936. 60 pages with story art throughout in bw plus full color end papers and 3 choice color pop-ups. Based on the 1936 short that featured Hollywood celebrities vs. Disney characters in a polo match. This includes Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, Shirley Temple, others. The three pop-ups are: Mickey and Donald, Laurel & Hardy with Donald, Big Bad Wolf with two Pigs and Shirley Temple. Each pop-up has some repairs to small tears or tabs which have come loose and have been re-attached. However, all 3 remain totally bright and clean. 16 of the bw pages have some coloring, most just with small accents added, few pages a bit more extensive. Bw pages are lightly aged. Cover has moderate trace of edge wear including along spine but still remains bright and glossy. VG/Fine. A rare book for which there is no American edition. This is the only copy we have offered in our 41 years. From the Joel Cohen Collection.
