Histoire de la musique en 80 tomes #[nn]

From Fluide Glacial publisher Audie comes this charming 2010 opener to Thiriet's ambitious comedic series, Histoire de la Musique en 80 Tomes. The cover sets the tone beautifully, depicting a parade of musicians spanning the ages — from a powdered-wig classical figure at a keyboard to a jazz-hat strummer, a sleek electric guitarist, and a loose-limbed rocker — all marching cheerfully across a backdrop of faint sheet music. It's a warm, witty promise that the history of music, told across eighty volumes, is going to be a very entertaining ride.
