Burny Mattinson owned a set of these twenty big, beautiful fairy tale books published by Fratelli Fabbri Editori (Milan, Italy) and McCall Publishing (New York). Copyright 1969, printed in Italy. These books are 10 1/2 x 14 and 48 pages with two stories per book, illustrated in color throughout.

Burny has written his name on the front cover, and stamped MATTINSON on the front endpaper and the title page.

He also added a volume number to the spine, so he could know that all 20 volumes were accounted for on the shelf.

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
