Product Description

Synopsis
"Nicholas and the Gang" contains 16 new stories about Nicholas, the French schoolboy, and his friends, many of whom are familiar from the other books in the series: there's Alec, who's always eating; Cuthbert, who's always top of the class; Matthew, who's always bottom of the class; and Mary Jane, the little girl with blonde pigtails who lives next door. 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. "Nicholas and the Gang" is the fourth 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 continue to delight both children and adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 26 May 2008
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
My children and I read the first book in the series on holiday and the kids were really disappointed that I had left Nicholas and the Gang at home. They love these stories. They are short enough to keep even the most attention deficit suffering child interested and full of such mischief and naughtiness they never fail to delight. My middle daughter commented that she loves these stories because they are just 'so' bad.

If you have read Nicholas then you will not be disappointed in his further adventures as they are more of the same, as ever accompanied by the excellent illustrations of sempe. Our favourites in this collection are Max's Conjuring Tricks, My Coloured Pencils and The Doctors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent as usual, 21 April 2008
I wait impatiently for each new Nicholas book to come out and this one doesn't disappoint, the whole gang are back on top form. Utterly charming. Also, you can read these books out of sequence, it doesn't make a jot of difference as each story stands alone.
