BAMBI
from THE INNER SANCTUM of
SIMON and SCHUSTER Publishers : 37 West 57th Street : New York
The Inner Sanctum made three glamorous pilgrimages to the city of Arthur Schnitzler, Franz Werfel, Richard Strauss and Eroicastrasse [our favorite thoroughfare | in arranging for the publication of this idyll of a deer: Bambi, A Life In The Woods.
Having made numerous channel crossings and having battled with proof in every tantalizing form, The Inner Sanctum particularly appreciates the force and grace of John Galsworthy’s tribute in the foreword.
Masterpieces, little or big, are rare phenomena. It is The Inner Sanctum’s profound conviction that the accolade is deserved by Bambi—and a first edition of seventy-five thousand copies is the ratification of this enthusiasm.
