This is the Disney animator's biography written by his widow Adrienne Tytla and printed privately in very small numbers.

It has all the appearances of a work-in-progress. A computer typescript with illustrations placed throughout and handwritten additions throughout, photocopied in color, bound and covered.

It is a massive document with well over 1000 illustrations--reproductions of photographs, documents, and other artifacts.

Back in 2004-2006, we helped Mrs. Tytla sell and distribute copies of her book. She had her printer make them in small batches and we would take orders for her.

This copy is inscribed with a note to Burny [Mattinson] initialed A.T. [Adrienne Tytla]: "Dear Burny: Enjoy and have fun! A.T. April 16, 2006"

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
