[THE DOG AND THE BEE]

Manuscript animation strip book. Blue pencil. Fifteen stapled leaves with a drawing to the recto of each. Very good condition with an old punch hole to the lower left corner, an old fold down the centre of the book, and minor wear to the extremities. The drawings remain clean and bright.

An accomplished series of drawings, similar to the style of Disney, from the early days of British animation. Produced by a professional illustrator, they humorously depict the mishaps of a dog, reminiscent of Pluto, following his encounter with a bee. A complete story in itself, it differs from the other dog/bee animation book that we have for sale, this one having a happier ending.
