Notes: The relatively plain cover for the verified copy suggests a dust jacket, but the gilt printing on the spine (title, author, publisher) suggest otherwise. Art credit for illustrations on title page as "Henri Dimpre". Copyright is Librarie Hachette 1950. Also states this is an abridgement "Texte condense pour idéal-bibliothque". The first paragraph matches but subsequent paragraphs are removed or condensed. Printer's note has "20-09-1379-13 - Dépôt légal no 7196 - 2e trimestre 1968", a Hachette logo (H in a diamond) and "20/1379/5". This is the source of the catalogue number.
