Remi and Mattia buy a cow.

As explained so often…...

....homage to George van Raemdonck, who illustrated the 1940 edition of Alleen Op De Wereld, translated from Hector Malot’s Sans Famille.

At this stage, in the book, Vitalis is in gaol and the boys look after themselves and their troupe.

They buy a cow with the money they have at that stage.

The vet supports their purchase.

For me it’s Van Raemdonck’s version of Remi and Mattia that I’ve grown up with and that’s who they are, for me.
I own a more recent edition now, with different illustrations and there is also a cartoon version,
.
I try to avoid looking at those.

Alleen op de Wereld was read to me at least twice over, as a bedtime story, when I was far too young, to start with.
