The saga of the great Brunhoff family, to whom we owe so much more than the creation of Babar. Includes unpublished family archives.

This is the fascinating story of four generations of the Brunhoff family, famous the world over thanks to Jean de Brunhoff, the creator of the Babar books. The Brunhoff family was behind the magazines Vogue and Vu and frequented all the intellectuals and great artists of their time (Guillaume Apollinaire, Colette, Pablo Picasso, Dali, Jean Cocteau, etc.). The family was also the personal enemy of Hitler and Goebbels. The author of this book was granted exclusive access to the family archives, resulting in this rich text and photo collection.
