This charming series of French illustrated classics follows the adventures of Babar the elephant as he becomes king of his people,
builds a city, founds a family and even meets Father Christmas. Tested by difficult trials - from snakes to fire to runaway prams - he always comes out on top, with the help of patience, determination and, on one memorable occasion, a flight of winged elephants.
"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."
