Product Description
Synopsis
Following on from the publication of "Nicholas" in June 2005, "Nicholas Again" is the equally beguiling second title in this well-loved series of books, now available to English-speaking children all over the world. Firmly established as a literary cult figure, the sublimely innocent "Nicholas" has already charmed millions of readers world-wide since these books were first published over forty years ago. Considered classics and available in twenty-six languages, the "Nicholas" stories have the ability to delight both children and adults. They are also regularly used as teaching materials by primary and junior school teachers. "Nicholas Again" contains seventeen riotously funny escapades. An only child, Nicholas's touchingly naive reaction to situations is often at odds with that of the adults around him. The results are calamitous: in the school room, at home or out and about, the exuberance of Nicholas and his friends often takes over. Whether helping to organise a school newspaper, going fishing in the public gardens, or discovering how to enjoy a visit to the art gallery, Nicholas's efforts always brings delightful mayhem.In "Nicholas", Goscinny and Sempe have created an archetypal schoolchild whose world of mishaps, confusions and downright naughtiness will raise a smile, whatever the age of the reader. Written between 1959 and 1965, these classic books are continually reprinted around the globe and offer not only a hilarious and entertaining read, but a vivid description of French life and culture. "Nicholas Again" was translated from the original French by Anthea Bell, who also translated the entire "Asterix the Gaul" saga into English with Derek Hockridge.
