📘 Mickey Never Fails (1939) Told by Robin Palmer | Illustrated by The Walt Disney Studio Published by D.C. Heath and Company First Edition, First Printing — in Original Dust Jacket This 1939 first edition of Mickey Never Fails, still housed in its original dust jacket—a rare survivor, particularly in this condition. The dust wrapper is further protected by a cellophane cover, preserving its vibrant illustrated panel and printed inner flap. The book itself is beautifully preserved: the boards and spine remain straight and unfaded, and the corners are still sharp. All 102 pages are clean and firmly bound, with no seam issues. The only marking is a neatly written gift inscription on the front endpaper. This story, told by Robin Palmer and brought to life by illustrations from The Walt Disney Studio, follows Mickey as he sets out to make a new house into a home. From oil burners and cellar playrooms to unexpected guests like Aunt Matilda and the twins—not to mention Minnie’s wish for a crocodile—Mickey faces a series of light-hearted, and at times hair-raising, adventures. True to form, he never fails. Robin Palmer worked as a librarian and storyteller, and her writing style reflects her experience engaging young readers. Whether chronicling ordinary events or imaginative plots, her storytelling carries an energy that has long appealed to children. A special early Disney collectible, especially scarce in jacket. Happy to discuss shipping options!
