Through six published adventures she rose to every challenge, worried her guardian. Miss Clavel, and earned the affection of millions of Americans. But she never came here to visit until now! . . . In time for the sixtieth anniversary of her birth comes one last wonderful story to treasure about the mischievous Madeline. Here readers will learn Madeline's last name, join her and the girls for horseback rides and a tour of the world's greatest store, and get a hint of what lies in Miss Madeline's future. John Bemelmans Marciano discovered Ludwig Bemelmans's manuscript and pen- cil sketches for Madeline in America wait- ing for him among his grandfather's files. Now he has lovingly completed what his — grandfather began with full-color paint- in,;- done in tribute to the great master. 1her tribute to Ludwig and as a treat -. we are proud to present two n iolida\ classics from the Bemelm; archives: The Count and the ( obbler, a gem of a parable about a bril- liant l>al»\ who engineers a happ\ holiday fur In- desperately poor family; and Sunshine, tin- timeless tale of a music teacher whose greed) landlord want- to <\ id her <>n ' hrislmas I \«•.
