Six were published from 1939 to 1961; a seventh was discovered after his death and published posthumously in 1999." "In the early 1930s Bemelmans met May Massee, the children's book editor at Viking Press, who became a sort of partner. He began to publish children's books, beginning with Hansi in 1934. He published the first Madeline book in 1939; after being rejected by Viking, it was published by Simon & Schuster. In 1953, he fell in love with a small bistro in Paris, La Colombe in the Ile de la Cité, and bought it.
