A Little Bit of France
Jean-Jacques Sempe'
#UC0472
$19.96
Famous in America for his New Yorker covers, French cartoonist Jean-Jacques Sempé gives us a winsome tour of his homeland via seventy-eight deliciously simple, yet oh-so expressive illustrations. Many are cartoon-like in black-and-white; some have washes of soft color; others are fully painted—but all are clever, delightful, and exquisitely evocative of the French countryside, with its charming villages and winding roads. Francophiles will nod in assent: yes, yes, this is France. Others not yet convinced will discover what all the fuss is about! Oh, and by the way, there’s not a word of text to distract from what the drawings have to say.
