The Donkey Inside. By Ludwig Bemelmans. Illustrated by the Author.
Publisher: 1941, NY, Viking Press.. 244 p., 4 double color plates, pictorial brown endpapers, 22 cm. "'The Donkey Inside' is the notebook or sketch-pad of several voyages through South America. In a sense it is a portrait of that continent, from Chile to the Panama Canal, but it is focused on Ecuador, because there I found, in stronger outline than anywhere else, the things peculiar to South America. Shielded by inadequate transportation (a small, baroque red train serves Quito three times a week, and it was not touched by airlines when I arrived), Ecuador has been left sleeping on, undisturbed by tourists. The terrain, the architecture, and the landscape-- the light that lies over it and the animals that walk about in it-- are rendered as they are. As for the people... I have taken the feet of one and the ears of another, and I hope it comes out all right." Chapters include The S.S. Mesias, The Guayaquil and Quito Railway, The Boots of General Altamir Pereira, The Headhunters of the Amazon, Adolf in Quito, The Friends of Ecuador, The S.S. Santa Lucía. "The Mesias was occasionally chartered for trips to the Galápagos. She took mining machinery up the Magdalena River, underbid freight rates of the established steamship lines, and was suspected of smugglng gold and helping people arrive and disappear. Most of the time, like a submerged old woman carrying above water only a garish hat decorated with banana leaves, she paraded up and down the coast from Chile to Colombia." "In the morning paper of Guayaquil appeared a small announcement of my arrival. The name was misspelled, but the text was one of cheer, of welcome and enthusiasm over the visit of a 'most intelligent and precious North American Author'. A picture appeared with the article; 'El Señor Bnelemaas' was printed under it, and, in smaller type, 'Important North American Author'-- but it was a picture of James Cromwell." Pomerance A8(bis), the deluxe limited edition, this being number 14 of 175 copies specially bound and with an original illustration, this one a hatted Ecuadoran woman in profile, signed by Bemelmans. Three-quarter brick red and 1/4 sunflower yellow leatherette stamped in gold, all edges stained red, no dj, no slipcase; spine darkened; VG+. stock#44621.

"In six large notebooks and a portfolio of more than 100 drawings, Ludwig Bemelmans captured for himself the spirit of three trips to SSouth America. In Ecuador... he found the continent epitomized. So in this little hidden-away country, Bemelmans sets his new story, bringing into it, as an artist will, some of the too-good-to-be-omitted adventures from neighboring states. ...The reader will realize, however, that this alluring narrative is no travel guide when, on the first page, a cow swings across the author's breakfast table." Printed on heavy stock. Light-yellow cloth boards stamped in red, all edges red; spine & top edges foxed, remains of bookplate inside front cover; color pictorial dj has tape mends inside, edges rubbed & small chips; book VG+, dj good. stock#40985 {ph}.

Bemelmans, Ludwig, 1898-1962. Bemelmans, Madeleine. Cousins, Norman.
Tell Them It Was Wonderful. Selected Writings by Ludwig Bemelmans.
Publisher: New York, Viking [c1985]. xix, 315 p., illus.; 23 cm. Pomerance C2a. Edited and with an Introduction by Madeleine Bemelmans. Foreword by Norman Cousins. "Bemelmans was the least inarticulate and most delightful personality I ever encountered. When he walked into a restaurant, his unsurpassed knowledge of menus and manners struck terror into the hearts of head waiters and chefs. ...He was elegant, ebullient, expansive. He could discourse on writing, painting, food, wine, hotels, and great cities with a combination of overview and minute detail that was the envy of essayists and encyclopedists" (Norman Cousins). "Mrs. Madeleine Bemelmans has arranged the best of her late husband's fiction and nonfiction for adults in thematic and chronological order to create an autobiographical extravaganza that spans Ludwig Bemelmans's experiences from childhood through his New York, European, and Hollywood years." Pictorial dj; new. Stock#24791x.
