In France and Germany practically every child of seven and upwards knows the adventures of Nicholas. Written by the author of Asterix, Ren??? Goscinny, and with illustrations by New Yorker illustrator, Jean-Jacques Semp???, the five Nicholas books tell of the endearing exploits of the young French school boy and his chums. Available in twenty six languages and established as a literary cult figure, the sublimely innocent Nicholas has seduced millions of readers all over the world. Considered a classic and regularly used by primary and junior school teachers, these stories have the ability to delight both children and adults. Nicholas is the first of five titles to become available to English speaking children all over the world In some way similar to the cheekiness of Calvin and Hobbes and the innocence and naivet??? of characters created by the Italian film maker Roberto Benigni, Goscinny and Semp??? have created a world of confusion that makes you chuckle out load. Written between 1959 and 1965 these classic books are continually reprinted around the globe and offer, not only an entertaining read, but a vivid description of French life and culture
