Babar and Father Christmas (1940) by Jean de Brunhoff

Jean de Brunhoff was the French author and illustrator best known for creating the Babar series. He was born #OTD in 1899. The books began as a bedtime story that Cécile de Brunhoff invented for their children.

My account is no algorithm of calculated posts to get high numbers, but a hodge-podge of all that sparks my overly curious mind. A celebration of the delightful, whimsical and magical.

Today I just want to live in the winter world of Elsa Beskow where one is greeted by snow children, castles made of snow are guarded by friendly polar bears, a sled is pulled by a snowshoe hare & tiny children of the forest prepare their home beneath tree roots from the cold.
