_I_N 1939, readers first picked a fearless
little girl named Madeline out of a parade
of ''twelve little girls in two straight lines."
Through six published adventures she rose
to every challenge, worried her guardian.
Miss Clavel, and earned the affection of
millions of Americans. But she never came
here to visit until now!
. . .
In time for the sixtieth anniversary of
her birth comes one last wonderful story to
treasure about the mischievous Madeline.
Here readers will learn Madeline's last
name, join her and the girls for horseback
rides and a tour of the world's greatest
store, and get a hint of what lies in Miss
Madeline's future.
John Bemelmans Marciano discovered
Ludwig Bemelmans's manuscript and pen-
cil sketches for Madeline in America wait-
ing for him among his grandfather's files.
Now he has lovingly completed what his
—
grandfather began with full-color paint-
in,;- done in tribute to the great master.
1her tribute to Ludwig and as a
treat -. we are proud to present
two n iolida\ classics from the
Bemelm; archives: The Count and the
( obbler, a gem of a parable about a bril-
liant l>al»\ who engineers a happ\ holiday
