Italy, February 1933, during the carnival of Viareggio.

Here is another book about True-Life Adventures naturalist-cinematographers Lois and Herb Crisler, which I had the pleasure to discover a few days ago.

I think that most of you will thoroughly enjoy this article, which I discovered a few days ago.

There is an new blog in Italian which will be worth checking out from time to time: La Grotta del Fumetto.

I was caught totally by surprise yesterday when I read about this newly released book.

A collection of Disney-related interviews is always a "must-have" for me so I will be ordering right away.

The book includes interviews with Fess Parker (Davy Crockett), Tommy Kirk (Old Yeller, The Shaggy Dog), Ann Jillian (Babes in Toyland), Billy Mumy (Rascal), Arthur Hiller (director of Miracle of the White Stallions), Marta Kristen (Savage Sam), James Drury (Pollyanna, Ten Who Dared), Eddie Hodges (Summer Magic, The Happiest Millionaire), Peter Brown (Summer Magic, A Tiger Walks), and many more.

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to stumble this weekend upon the recently released autobiography of John Tishman. Tishman supervised, among other things, the building of EPCOT, and a whole chapter in this book is dedicated to his experiences with Disney.

Kay Kamen in Europe - Need help from an Italian reader

I need help from one of the Italian readers of this blog. I stumbled upon this article while conducting a totally different search within online Italian archives. Forget the image on the two pages, which is totally irrelevant. The article itself titled C'era una volta? no: c'è adesso, was released in the Italian magazine Cinema illustrazione from June 5, 1935. It was written by Luigi A. Garrone, who is credited as a Disney writer on at least one Italian comic book story from 1937 and it is based on an interview with Disney's merchandizing guru Kay Kamen who was spending his honeymoon in Europe at the time.

Could one of you translate it for us?
