Babar was the King of the Elephants and Babar’s mother was killed by hunters, and he was brought up by an Old Lady in Paris, but eventually returned to the Elephant realm following the death of the previous King, who had eaten some poisonous mushroom. He married his cousin, Celeste, and founded the city of Celesteville. Babar, who tends to wear a bright green suit, introduced western civilization to the elephants, and caused them to dress in western attire.
Among Babar’s other associates are the monkey Zephir, the old elephant counsellor Cornelius, his cousin Arthur, and his children, Flora, Pom, and Alexander.
Besides his Westernizing policies, Babar has also engaged in warfare with the rival rhinoceroses.
I thought this was supposed to be a children’s story? Cousin marriage, warfare, violent death, ’shrooms… and also, his child named Pom looks too much like Porn in certain fonts.

I found this on wikipedia:
