Description: South of the Border with Disney and the Good Neighbor Program SIGNED JB Kaufman Classic Walt Disney Studio Treasures from Saturday's Toys and Paul F. Anderson presents... a SIGNED 2009 first edition / first printing of "South of the Border with Disney: Walt Disney and the Good Neighbor Program, 1941 - 1948" by J.B. Kaufman (signed at top left corner of title page) We are pleased to represent a unique selection of items from the personal collection of Paul F. Anderson, noted Disney author, researcher, and historian. Paul is also founder of the Disney History Institute. The book chronicles the travels of Walt & Lillian Disney, Norm Ferguson, Ted Sears, Bill Cottrell, Webb Smith, Frank Thomas, Herb Ryman, Lee Blair, Mary Blair, Jim Bodrero, Charles Wolcott, Larry Landsburgh, Jack Miller, John Rose and Janet Martin. The trip was known to effectively provide Walt with an opportunity to be away from the Walt Disney Studio in Burbank during the contentious labor strike of 1941. Though Walt's brother, Roy O. Disney, was able to lead the studio during the crisis, the outcome changed the course of animation history and gradually pushed Walt to find new creative outlets for his own imagination... ultimately leading to the studio's embrace of television and the creation of Disneyland in 1955. Includes foreword from Walt Disney's eldest daughter, Diane Disney Miller (1933 - 2013). As released in conjunction with the launch of D23, The Official Community for Disney Fans. Published by Disney Editions and The Walt Disney Family Foundation. 336 pages. Excellent condition; nicely preserved with original dust jacket. A remarkable text detailing Walt Disney's 1941 trip to South America on behalf of the U.S. Government. Comes with our highest recommendation.

Anderson has spent well over half of his life researching, writing, and delving into the creative legacy of Walt Disney. He began this interest in the mid-Seventies when his father gifted him with a copy of Christopher Finch’s Art of Walt Disney. Over the next several years, he researched, studied, and wrote about the life and times of Walt Disney. This interest continued on through college and served as a subject for his Master’s Degree. As a recognized expert on Walt Disney and his works, he was contacted by PBS in 1989 to work on a television documentary exploring the history of animation. Starting as the “Disney historian” on the project, he began to interview many of the old-timers that had worked with Disney. In little time, he found himself serving as Associate Producer on the show, titled Cartoon Mania! This work for PBS provided him with the opportunity and inspiration to preserve Disney history, which he does by interviewing many of the creative individuals that worked with Walt Disney. Feeling a need, and a responsibility, for his work to be shared with others, Paul started a historical journal devoted to the creative legacy of Walt Disney titled Persistence of Vision, for which he served as editor and publisher. Paul has also traveled across the United States giving lectures and talks on Walt Disney, as well as to teach an occasional college class on Walt Disney in American Culture. Born in Sheridan Wyoming in 1962, Paul currently lives near Salt Lake City, Utah.
