Nicholas

Charming French schoolboy's humorous, relatable escapades.

Nicholas might just be the friend you wish you had as a kid—the playful French schoolboy's adventures, penned by renowned Asterix author René Goscinny and brought to life by Sempé's illustrations, are a joyous romp through childhood. The stories bridge the generation gap, offering laughs and a sense of nostalgia that could make anyone long for the simplicity and earnestness of youth. If you enjoy endearing mischief and tales that capture the essence of being young, Nicholas is likely to become a favorite on your bookshelf.

Description

Nicholas is the first of five books that bring to life the day to day adventures of a young school boy - amusing, endearing and always in trouble. An only child, Nicholas appears older at school than he does at home, and his touchingly naive reactions to situations cut through the preconceptions of adults and result in a formidable sequence of escapades. This first book in the series contains a collection of nineteen individual stories where, in spite of trying to be good, Nicholas and his friends always seem to end up in some kind of mischief. Whether in the school room, at home, or in the playground, their exuberance often takes over and the results are calamitous - at least for their teachers and parents. Whether confusing the photographer hired to take the class picture, dealing with having to wear glasses for the first time, or trying desperately to help the teacher when the school inspector pays a visit, Nicholas always manages to make matters worse.
