Shocked by the story of a young girl with mental illness who had been refused refuge in a convent and was soon after discovered pregnant and arrested for begging Sand opted to expose the events in a set of letters printed in the Revue Independente. Following a wave of public outcry "Sand decided to have the letters printed in brochure form with the plan that half the copies would be distributed free to the workers of La Chatre the others sold for the benefit of Fanchette. Five hundred copies of this brochure of thirty-one pages were printed and circulated.

1953rif. 140785New York: Simon and Schuster 1953. First edition of Lady and the Tramp boldly signed by Walt Disney Bill Justice and four of Disney's nine old men: Frank Thomas Ollie Johnston Eric Larson and Woolie Reitherman. Octavo original cloth with charming illustrations by Joe G. Rinaldi. Signed by Walt Disney on the title page in crayon and on the front free endpaper by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas in crayon Woolie Reitherman in pencil and Eric Larson and Bill Justice in pen. Foreword by Walt Disney. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. A unique example. Lady and the Tramp tells the story of a female American Cocker Spaniel named Lady who lives with a refined upper-middle-class family and a male stray mongrel called the Tramp. Greene the editor and manager of the newspaper syndicate King Features was the author of the short story “Happy Dan The Whistling Dog” which came to Walt Disney’s attention. At Disney’s request Greene developed the story into a full-length novel on which the film one of the most popular of Disney’s animated features was based. The sequence of Lady and Tramp sharing a plate of spaghetti — climaxed by an accidental kiss as they swallow opposite ends of the same strand of spaghetti — is considered an iconic scene in American film history. Lady and the Tramp was named number 95 out of the "100 Greatest Love Stories of All Time" by the American Film Institute in their 100 Years.100 Passions special as one of only two animated films to appear on the list along with Disney's Beauty and the Beast which ranked 34th. In 2010 Rhapsody called its accompanying soundtrack one of the all-time great Disney and Pixar soundtracks. In June 2011 TIME named it one of "The 25 All-TIME Best Animated Films."
