The Castafiore Emerald - Readers Warehouse

Ages 9–12

Author: Herge

Softcover·Ages 9-12

In The Castafiore Emerald (1963), all the characters from the series gather in Marlinspike Hall for a real comedy classic behind closed doors. Resolutely turning his back on the adventure genre, Herge concentrates on describing the difficulties of communication between human beings. This is the "anti-adventure", full of misunderstandings, a comedy of errors.

The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic strips created by Belgian artist Herge the pen name of Georges Remi (1907 1983). The series first appeared in French in Le Petit Vingtieme, a children's supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtieme Siecle on 10 January 1929. Set in a painstakingly researched world closely mirroring our own, Herge's Tintin series continues to be a favorite of readers and critics alike 80 years later.

The hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures from the beginning by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy (Milou in French). Later, popular additions to the cast included the brash, cynical and grumpy Captain Haddock, the bright but hearing-impaired Professor Calculus (Professeur Tournesol) and other colorful supporting characters such as the incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson (Dupond et Dupont). Herge himself features in several of the comics as a background character; as do his assistants in some instances.
