Description from the seller
SIMON, Louis.
Mon petit théâtre.
LE MONTER, L'ANIMER ET LE DIRIGER, VOILA LE PLUS PASSIONNANT DE TOUS LES JEUX
Paris: Presses d'Ile-de-France,
1946. First edition.
A lovely copy of this pop-up theatre for children. Contains a folding cover of theatre curtains. Inside, are two double leaves with instructions, four finely coloured double leaves (models for finger puppets), and two double leaves with removable admission tickets, posters and a programme for the play and finally the text for a play in three acts.
Everything a child needs to put on their own play. Overall in excellent condition. The sheets are stapled into place. The three staples are somewhat rusty, and the first page has come away from the bottom staple. Otherwise excellent. The right hand flap / Curtain has been split at some point, and has been repaired with archival tape. Small bookshop stamp (?) to the first page hidden by the cover flaps.
31.5cm x 24cm.
The book is in the series "Les albums préférés des jumeaux." Louis Simon (1911-1988), a French journalist and writer of Russian origin, was the editor-in-chief of the Scouts of France magazine. He had been a member of the Comédiens Routiers (Roadside Actors). He wrote a number of books, mainly on Scouting themes.
