All my childhood!<br /><br />(Roughly translated : <br />A fifty-feet ant with a hat of its head: that can't exist! That can't exist!<br />An ant drawing a chariot filled with penguins and ducks: that can't exist! That can't exist!<br />An ant speaking French, speaking Latin and Javanese: that can't exist! That can't exist!<br />Hey! Why not? )<br /><br />As a sidenote, "La bête est morte!" is a pretty amazing illustrated book, that was written in 1944 as a way to explain WWII to children (The French are rabbits, the English are dogs, the German are wolves...). It is very patriotic and simplistic in many ways, but still a very interesting read, if only to get an inlking of th way the French population felt at the time.<br />More on the subject in French : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_b%C3%AAte_est_morte_!<br />It appears to have been recently reprinted : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_b%C3%AAte_est_morte_!Abiehttp://ceciestuntest.over-blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-19525348169777978362009-12-02T22:37:46.935-05:002009-12-02T22:37:46.935-05:00"Cornebuse et cie by Guy Sabran" is wond..."Cornebuse et cie by Guy Sabran" is wonderful...Brian - Kafkacottonhttp://www.kafkacotton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-68459292147600498492009-12-02T10:44:24.065-05:002009-12-02T10:44:24.065-05:00Brilliant post with great finds!Brilliant post with great finds!Dr. Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012098581257867986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-57696007353680557292009-12-02T03:40:33.498-05:002009-12-02T03:40:33.498-05:00Dis donc, quite a post - I'm breathless!

I should be able to do a follow-up post soon featuring earlier books -- trying to decide if I should break that follow-up into two posts: pre-1900 works and 1900-1929 works. Restricting the dates definitely made this one better. <br /><br />Cy, root around on Agence Eureka -- they feature another book by Guy Sabran which looks just as good.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799869059793681283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-64970192049849668072009-12-01T15:28:18.432-05:002009-12-01T15:28:18.432-05:00Love the lettering on the Guy Sabran cover - the i...Love the lettering on the Guy Sabran cover - the image itself is great, but the title just electrifies it.Cy Mathewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244437975709553222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-67273437499174552082009-12-01T14:28:27.890-05:002009-12-01T14:28:27.890-05:00Oh so great!
