Jean-Jacques Sempé René Goscinny
Nicholas and the Gang
“Nicholas and the Gang” contains still more entertaining stories about Nicholas, the French schoolboy, and his friends. As usual, the children get into all kinds of trouble, even though they have the very best intentions. In this book, they try to make friends with the owner of a new bookshop near their school, take part in a chaotic radio interview, and play an unusually messy game of chess. In this collection of adventures, Nicholas is invited to a birthday party by the girl next door and learns that walking on your hands is much harder than turning somersaults.
These stories will appeal to children aged 6 years and all adults!
Jean-Jacques Sempé
Jean-Jacques Sempé, usually known as Sempé (born August 17, 1932 in Bordeaux), is a French cartoonist. Some of his cartoons are quite striking, but retain a sentimental and often a somewhat gentle edge to them, even if the topic is a difficult one to approach. He once drew a series called Le petit Nicolas, starting it in the 1950s, but he is best known for his posterlike illustrations, usually drawn from a distant or high viewpoint depicting detailed countrysides or cities.
René Goscinny
René Goscinny (14 August 1926 – 5 November 1977) was a French-Polish author, editor and humorist, who is best known for the comic book Astérix, which he created with illustrator Albert Uderzo, and for his work on the comic series Lucky Luke with Morris (considered the series' golden age) and Iznogoud with Jean Tabary.
