Disney's timeless classics live on in this collection of eighteen stories, illustrated with beautiful vintage artwork. Walt Disney's Classic Storybook includes familiar favorites such as "Sleeping Beauty" and "101 Dalmatians" as well as rediscovered treasures like "Pedro" and "Scamp"--presented here with illustrations taken from the beloved storybooks of the 1950s and 1960s. This is a treasury that will delight several generations of Disney fans.

 For more than 70 years, Disney artists have interpreted stories and characters for the printed page by creating magical storybook illustrations like the ones reproduced in this special volume.

 Walt Disney"s Classic Storybook contains hundreds of examples of vintage Disney storybook art from the 1950s and 1960s, recently rediscovered in warehouses. Many of these stunning pieces were never printed on quality paper, so they are presented here, close to their original color and brilliance for the very first time. They represent some of the finest examples from the Studio"s golden years of book illustration, when Walt Disney enlisted his artists to draw and paint especially for children"s storybooks.

 Walt worked hard to ensure that this artwork lived up to his standards for quality and his desire to deliver Disney magic in a form he considered an important part of his legacy--children"s storybooks.
