The Story of Babar


Book Description

If you love elephants, you will love Babar and Celeste," writes A. A. Milne, author of Winnie-the-Pooh, in his preface to The Story of Babar. "And if you have never loved elephants, you will love them now." After his mother is killed by a hunter, Babar avoids capture by escaping to the city, where he is befriended by the kindly Old Lady. He becomes educated and cultured and, upon his return to the great forest, is crowned King of the Elephants. Jean de Brunhoff's tales of Babar have charmed readers around the world for 80 years. His stories have followed the king of the elephants as he 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. One of the most iconic series of animal books in history, Babar has become a household name both as a character in children's books and on TV. Beautifully illustrated, this edition is an ideal gift for children aged 3 and up.

The lives of two great men of the time are here presented, in two separate novels, by two authors.

He was a poet, painter, soldier, athlete, gentleman, musician, beggar and King. He lived the most adventurous life a man ever lived, in the end of the fifteenth, the beginning of the sixteenth centuries; and he kept a record of it. Babar brought with him into India his own religion, the Islam. He was very powerful and profoundly soulful. The Crystal Bowl of Life is the promise of the Fullness of Life, of love, joy, and happiness, and of sorrow and death … The second great man of this book is St. Francis Xavier, who was a pioneering Roman Catholic missionary and co-founder of the Society of Jesus, commonly called Jesuits. He was known as the ‘Apostle of the Indies’ as he was ordered by the King of Portugal, Joam III, to restore Christianity among the Portuguese settlers there. He achieved much more than that … Two civilisations introduce themselves almost at the same time into India. It is exciting to discover in what fashion and to what purpose …
