Surely Oncle Paul Bernot was the hero of the hour! When Mariette, Jean, Lucie and Peter wandered by mistake into the Enchanted Forest, they were taken prisoner by a band of renegade Brownies.
Oncle Paul, who remembered the forest paths well (thanks to his adventures there as a boy), did not hesitate, but drove his shiny new automobile as deeply into the forest as its tangled greenery would allow.
Then, having won the friendship of two very rare and beautiful Viringian dragonflies (that notoriously shy, yet loyal and courageous species), he and these new comrades took wing, flying directly into the midst of the enemy encampment.
The Brownies, who had never seen an automobile before, were understandably disconcerted, giving Oncle Paul and his new friends the advantage of surprise.
Making use of a magic wand lent to him by none other than Her Gracious Majesty Morgaine, Queen of all Fairyland and the Outer Regions, Oncle Paul made short work of the mischievous Brownies, and liberated our young friends. Hurrah Oncle Paul! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Wonderful French RPPC (Real Photo Postcard) of a beautiful parade float, circa 1910s/20s, presumably constructed in a time and place before bureaucratic licensing practices muddied up the fun. So magical, and in very nice condition.
