Die Geschichte von Babar is a narrated work for piano and speaker by French composer Francis Poulenc, composed in 1940. The piece blends light, melodic neo-classical piano writing with spoken narration and whimsical motifs, exemplifying Poulenc's interest in lyrical, transparent textures during his mid-career and occupying a modest place in the 20th-century repertoire for narrator and piano.
