Recent Acquisition: Bambi
I recently acquired a copy of the Grosset & Dunlap reprint of Felix Salten's
Bambi with dust jacket from about 65 years ago. What makes it worthy of note are two things: 1. It was translated (in about 1928) by, of all people, Whittaker Chambers, later of HUAC fame for storing microfilm in a pumpkin in a field for Richard Nixon in connection with the Alger Hiss case. 2. There is a foreword by John Galsworthy, who ends his short comments with "I particularly recommend it to sportsmen." Francis A. Miniter |
