Histoire de l'histoire de France #2

Thierry Laudrain's second volume of this charming French history series whisks readers from the reign of Louis XV all the way to Louis-Philippe I, covering centuries of French adventure in warm, cartoon style. The cover makes the journey irresistible — a grid of vignettes spotlights everything from a sun-king courtier to a sea monster, a Viking longship to a swashbuckling pirate before a tall sailing vessel, and a warrior squaring off with sword and shield. Bamboo Édition delivers history with a light touch, and this 2019 volume promises both laughs and learning across some of France's most colorful eras.
