Drôle d'histoire #1

The storming of the Bastille bursts to life on this lively cover, where a tall, animated guide gestures toward the smoke-filled fortress walls while three young children look on wide-eyed at the surging crowd below. Created by Derache and Mainguy — with the participation of French historian and TV personality Stéphane Bern, whose portrait appears in the corner — this 2018 release from Editions Jungle promises an entertaining, kid-friendly dive into the French Revolution. It's a wonderfully accessible entry point for young readers curious about one of history's most dramatic turning points.
