Le mousse de la Méduse #[nn]

A handsome colonial landscape — a grand white manor house, tropical palms, and lily-covered waters — frames a young fair-haired cabin boy perched in a tree, working a length of twisted rope with quiet concentration. Thirel & Fruch bring a gentle, luminous quality to this French-language adventure, with artwork that captures both the boy's inner world and the lush, sun-warmed setting around him. Published by Des Bulles dans l'Océan in 2018, Le mousse de la Méduse promises an intimate, beautifully rendered story of youth and the sea.
