Astrid Bromure #3

Fabrice Parme brings his charming, sharp-edged style to this third Astrid Bromure adventure, subtitled Comment épingler l'Enfant sauvage — "How to Pin Down the Wild Child." The cover sets a wonderfully atmospheric jungle mood: young Astrid, pith hat firmly in place and collecting pin at the ready, stands amid lush, hazard-filled foliage accompanied by her fluffy white cat and a sleek black creature, while a grinning leopard lurks in the background and an ominous dark serpent coils up the left side. Published by Rue de Sèvres in 2017, this album promises the same delightful mix of deadpan humor and exotic peril that makes Parme's series such a treat for readers of all ages.
