- "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" also inspired the 1964 animated television special, which airs several times each holiday season; it is the longest running Christmas TV special.
- When Applewood Books last offered this facsimile of the original edition, it sold more than one million copies!
- This original edition of Rudolph was last available in 2001.
In 1939 Robert L. May, a copywriter working at Chicago's Montgomery Ward & Co., wrote a holiday story at the request of his employer. Almost two and a half million copies of the little tale about a reindeer with a shiny red nose were given away to all the children who visited Montgomery Ward stores that year. The rest is history. Seventy-five years later, the beloved classic is once again available in a hardcover faithful facsimile of the 1939 Rudolph, with original text and original Denver Gillen illustrations.
