- The fifth anthology of witty and enchanting sketches and cartoons by one of the world’s
best-loved illustrators - In this collection Sempé returns to some of his favourite themes – unspoken truths, failed communications and hidden talents – as well as exploring a batch of new subjects: familiar characters such as artists, psychoanalysts and married couples appear alongside unpredictable children, tyrannical computers and surprisingly friendly aliens
- Originally published in France in 1966, and now available to a worldwide English-speaking audience for the first time, Sempé’s witty drawings will delight cartoon connoisseurs and Francophiles as well as the general public
