Encore une partie de campagne gâchée par le crocodile #[nn]

The cover of this 2015 Cambourakis release sets a delightful tone with its striking two-tone design — a warm pink upper half carrying elegant hand-lettered French script, meeting a lush black lower half filled with intricate white botanical illustrations and bright yellow seed heads. By Stephen Collins, the creator of La Gigantesque Barbe du Mal, this edition carries the same wit its title promises: Encore une Partie de Campagne Gâchée par le Crocodile — "Another Country Outing Ruined by the Crocodile." The cover alone, with its whimsical flora rendered in careful detail, signals a book that balances dry humor with genuine charm.
