Let's go out today and go on a new trip
Don't you feel excited just by imagining a cute striped pattern crown, a happy lion with a ribbon tied, and a crocodile that swallows smiles and candy?
This is a scene from 『 Elmer's Boken 』.
Published in the US in 1948 / 51, the three part series of 『 Elmer's Boken 』 『 Elmer Torutsu 』 『 Elmer and 』 Sixteen Pino Aru are still loved even today. The author is Ruth Stiles Gannett, who was in his 20 s at the time of writing, and the illustrations are drawn by Ruth Chrisman Gannet, the stepmother of the author. The Japanese version translated by Shigeo Watanabe also boasts a total of 7 million copies.
This is the official illustrated book of the first Japanese exhibition "The Boken of Elmer" (July 15 - October 1, 2023 PLAY! MUSEUM). It contains approximately 140 original paintings of the three part series, and their skillful brushwork is meticulously reproduced. It includes the secret story of the birth of the story, the production process, and a text that tells the personality of the author who will soon be 100 years old. The many scenes filled with courage, consideration and humor painted by Gannet mother and daughter warmly embrace not only children but also adults who used to be children.
If you roll up the page, you can see that kind world spread over your back. Let's go on a trip of Boken!
