Editorial Reviews

Book Description
     The jolly and exciting tale of the little boy who lost his red coat and his blue trousers and his purple shoes but who was saved from the tigers to eat 169 pancakes for his supper, has been universally loved by generations of children. First written in 1899, the story has become a childhood classic and the authorized American edition with the original drawings by the author has sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

     Little Black Sambo is a book that speaks the common language of all nations, and has added more to the joy of little children than perhaps any other story. They love to hear it again and again; to read it to themselves; to act it out in their play.

Synopsis
     A little boy in India loses his fine new clothes to the tigers, but while they dispute who is the grandest tiger in the jungle he takes his fine clothes back again.


Ingram
     The only authorized American edition of this childhood classic, first published around 1900, tells the naive, humorous story of Black Sambo, his beautiful clothes and his adventures with the tigers in the jungles of India. Full-color illustrations.


About the Author
     Christopher Bing first developed a passion for the story of Little Black Sambo when it was read to him as a child. While studying at the Rhode Island School of Design, he began what has been a twenty-year labor of love of illustrating the work in a manner which would appropriately celebrate and respect both its heritage and its readership. A widely published editorial artist contributing to many national newspapers and magazines, he lives with his wife and three children in Lexington, Massachusetts. Helen Bannerman (1862-1946) was born in Scotland. The daughter of a chaplain who was posted to foreign countries, she lived for over thirty years in India. She married a doctor in the Indian Medical Service, and they had two daughters. The Story Of Little Black Sambo was written by Mrs. Bannerman to amuse her young girls during a long train journey and first published in 1899.
