Ug - Le petit génie de l'âge de pierre #[nn]

Raymond Briggs brings his distinctive watercolor warmth to this French edition of Ug, published by Grasset Jeunesse in 2001. The cover introduces us to a stocky, wide-eyed Stone Age boy standing resolutely against a moody prehistoric landscape of rolling hills, brooding skies, and distant creatures — a small figure facing a very big world. Subtitled Le petit génie de l'âge de pierre ("The Little Genius of the Stone Age"), it promises the kind of gentle wit and quietly expressive illustration that makes Briggs such a distinctive voice in graphic storytelling.
