Les aventures de Gentleman Jim #[nn]

Raymond Briggs brings his gentle, warmly observed humor to this French edition of Gentleman Jim, published by Grasset Jeunesse in 1983. The cover finds our round-faced, good-natured hero in a white coat, holding aloft a gleaming golden object with quiet pride while clutching a purple bottle — a perfectly everyday moment rendered with Briggs's characteristically cozy, understated charm. Fans of his distinctively human, working-class storytelling will feel right at home.
