Jimmy Zangwow teams with The Little
Prince! (03-26-01) R. John Wright Dolls and Theriault's are sponsoring a tour for The Little Prince, in which he will travel all over the world and collect items from his journey. Once completed, the items and the Little Prince (a hand-crafted, 23 inch doll representing the character) will be auctioned, with proceeds to go to several children's charities. Tony contributed a signed 1st edition copy of “Jimmy Zangwow” along with a signed proof page! This is an unbound, single sheet proof used to color correct the images before the book goes to press. They are very rare, as only a handful are made for the publisher. To find out more about “The Little Prince Doll Grand Tour” check out R. John Wright's web site. |
