From Ludwig Bemelmans’ beloved Madeline series comes this dreamy Parisian adventure brought to life in journal form. Madeline and the Gypsies captures the whimsy of traveling circuses, moonlit performances, and fearless curiosity through Bemelmans’ classic illustrations and storytelling charm.
This 1969 fifth printing is ready to be carefully transformed into a handcrafted, one of a kind book journal. The original cover and ALL interior story pages will be preserved between smooth writing paper, blending vintage character with modern functionality. Every turn of the page feels like stepping into Madeline’s world, where art, imagination, and nostalgia meet.
A perfect piece for lovers of classic children’s literature, French storybook art, collectors of Madeline editions, or anyone who finds joy in writing inside something with history and heart.
You may choose your preferred cover: the classic cloth hardcover alone or I can adhere the original dust jacket permanently for a collector-style presentation. The dust jacket option is a $5 upgrade. (price reflects cloth hardcover)
