A Madeline Treasury: The Original Stories by Ludwig Bemelmans

â€œIn an old house in Paris
that was covered with vines
lived twelve little girls
in two straight lines
the smallest one was Madeline.â€
Â
A complete collection of all the adventures of Madeline, a fearless little girl full of mischief and vitality. Madeline, first published in 1939, and its five sequels have charmed generations of readers, and have become true classics.

Celebrate one of the worldâ€™s most popular and beloved fictional characters with this beautiful, deluxe collection, bringing together all six of the Madeline books in one volume. In each of these books, Bemelmansâ€™ humorous verse, his immortal charactersâ€”Miss Clavel, Pepito, the magician, the othersâ€”and his wonderful, whimsical drawings of Paris combine to create a memorable reading experience for people of all ages.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anna Quindlen has written an introduction to the collection, which also includes â€œThe Isle of God,â€ an essay by Bemelmans on how he invented Madeline, and never-before-published working sketches of Madeline, as well as photos of the Bemelmans family.
