This is the Polish edition of the American author Munro Leaf's children's classic The Story of Ferdinand (1936) which is translated by Irena Tuwim, who had also undertaken the first translations into Polish of A.A. Milne's Winnie-The-Pooh and The House At Pooh Corner. Robert Lawson's original illustrations are replaced by those of Maria Orlowska, whose work shares certain characteristics with the later style of the English illustrator Errol John Le Cain. Only 4 copies of this book are listed on WorldCat: 2 examples of the first printing (Princeton and NY Public Library) and 2 of the second printing (Staatsbibliothek Zu Berlin and Sikjm, Switzerland). Leaf's book also appeared in Polish, in the same year, published by Biuro Wydawnicze "Ruch" with alternative illustrations by Andrzej Wiercienski.
