I'm a big fan of Sleeping Beauty. All the books of my collection were published by Hachette in France when the Disney classic was first released. It is interesting to compare the cover of the American market with that of the French market which is slightly different. The contents are nearly the same. The second photo shows the very rare 1958 French edition of Sleeping Beauty which was given a deluxe treatment with 58 pages (it is a large book which measures 32 cm x 25 cm). I am almost certain that NO other copy has survived. The 3rd picture shows three small books which are the French translations of the Little Golden books published at the same time in the U.S. The 4th picture shows a soft cover edition of what I believe to be the French equivalent of the Dell comic book published in the US (I never browsed a copy). I also own the beautiful Sleeping Beauty book published in the Sketchbook series, as well as Pierre Lambert's gorgeous La Belle au Bois Dormant recently published in France which is a gorgeous coffee table size book not to be missed by Sleeping Beauty fans.
