Le baron Perché #[nn]

Adapted from Italo Calvino's beloved novel, Le Baron Perché arrives from Éditions Jungle with a cover that immediately captures the whimsy at its heart — a elegantly dressed young nobleman balances with easy confidence among the branches of a flowering tree, butterflies drifting through the warm golden air around him. Claire Martin's artwork is lush and inviting, blending a storybook palette of soft blues, russet reds, and delicate blossoms into something that feels genuinely enchanting. A wonderful 2020 French-language graphic adaptation for readers drawn to adventure with a touch of poetic solitude.
