Published in 1885 by Hachette et Cie in Paris, this edition is a true gem from the Selva Collection. The cover depicts a whimsical scene filled with anthropomorphized animals engaging in various activities. A dirty giraffe joyfully plays with a French literature book while a regal lion and tiger engage in conversation nearby. A clever fox peeks out from behind an enchanting brown bear, and an elegant tawny elephant stands tall amidst the lively gathering. This charming folktale transports young readers into a world where animals come alive with vibrant colors and personalities. The intricate details of the engraving bring each character to life, capturing their unique traits and expressions. The artist George Henry Thompson has skillfully crafted these illustrations, infusing them with warmth and playfulness that will surely captivate children's imaginations for generations to come.
