DESCRIPTION

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse was a nearly instant success, justifying the years of hard work and determination that the canny producer had put into his seemingly foolish cartoon enterprises. The cheerful, resilient little rodent with the infectious laugh and can-do spirit was a breath of fresh air for exhausted Depression-era audiences, and soon pretty much anything with the mouse's face on it was selling by the truckload. This incredibly early tie-in, boasting sheet music, games, and stories, was the first licensed Disney publication, making it a vitally important document for serious Disney collectors and mouse mavens, and among the most coveted of Mickey memorabilia.
One of the rarest and most sought-after of early printed Disneyana collectibles, this extremely rare first edition features the original lyrics to Mickey Mouse You Cute Little Feller (from which the line "up and kill him" was censored in later editions!). The first copy we've ever seen, a true rarity and a remarkable piece of Americana.
