Tim de eekhoorn - De avonturen van "Tim" de eekhoorn in de Far-West - 1 Album - Limited edition - 2024

This booklet was printed in an edition of 150 numbered copies as a souvenir for members of the Hergé Society in 2024.
The booklet “Tim the Squirrel, Hero of the Far West” was written and illustrated by Hergé on commission from the L'Innovation department store.
The story appeared in a free newspaper between September 1931 and December 1931, and was intended for the children of the store’s customers.
The story is told through pictures with captions underneath, and is about a squirrel who leads a caravan across the plains of America (a reference to Hergé’s childhood, when he himself was a patrol leader of the “Squirrels” in the scouts). The main characters later inspired the story “Leo and Lea Among the Lapinos” (1934).
Dimensions: 22 x 16 cm/A5 format.
Hard covers, bound album, 36 pages.
The booklet is in pristine condition and is numbered 104/150.
No writing inside.
Published by the Hergé Society.
