Argentinian Coloring Book from 1959 - ¡Ven a Pintar! #4

From their series of Disney coloring books “¡Ven a Pintar!” this is the fourth in the series, featuring Alice.  Consisting of 16 large pages to color or paint, the line art is quite good and appears to be either copies of or redrawn from the Whitman Paint Book.

I've seen Alice depicted with the pink pinafore and stockings a few time from South American countries, but have never been able to figure out why.

Little Golden Book - Alicia en el País de las Maravillas Encuentra al Conejo Blanco - Argentina

This is the only Little Golden Book (Librito de Oro) I've ever seen from Argentina. The cover is the same as on the US edition, but the quality of the image is a little odd, sorta like there is a film covering it - but there isn't. The publisher is Hachette, a company normally associated with French books, guess they had a South American subsidiary too.


It sure takes a lot more letters to spell this title in Spanish!

Alice in Wonderland Title Song by Ray Nolan - Argentina

In honor of my daughter's first day back at William & Mary, and new course MUSC 365: "Alice in Musicland", I'm going to be posting music for a while.

The is a record from Argentina featuring Ray Nolan performing an instrumental of the title song Alice in Wonderland - Alice en el Pais de las Maravillas. It is a 78, but in the smaller 7 inch size, like a Little Golden Record.

The vinyl on this record is interesting, it looks like plain black vinyl, but if you hold it up to the light it is translucent.
