Originally published in French in 1959, the much-loved Nicholas series brings to life the day-to-day adventures of an amusing, charming and always-in-trouble schoolboy. This gem of classic children’s fiction was written by René Goscinny and illustrated by The New Yorker cartoonist Jean Jacques Sempé. Witty, sensitive and engaging, these stories have been expertly translated by Anthea Bell. Regularly used by primary and junior school teachers, these stories will delight both children and adults alike and beg to be read aloud. Nicholas Again contains 17 riotously funny exploits involving our hero and his pals Alec, Matthew, Eddie, Rufus and Cuthbert. Whether helping to organize a school newspaper, going fishing in the public gardens, or discovering how to enjoy a visit to the art gallery, naughty-yet-naïve Nicholas’ efforts always brings delightful mayhem.
