Description

"If you love elephants, you will love Babar and Celeste," writes A. A. Milne in his preface to "The Story of Babar". "And if you have never loved elephants, you will love them now." This is the story of Babar the Elephant and his travels. When his mother dies, Babar decides to seek his fortune in the big city. This charming classic of children's literature has entertained children and adults for over 80 years.
