Nicholas in Trouble by Rene Goscinny
Things are never easy for Nicholas and his friends: in this fifth collection of stories about the cheeky French schoolboy and his gang, their teacher Old Spuds won't let them play Geoffrey's fantastic new game, the lady in the sweet shop won't let them buy chocolate, and Jeremy is none too pleased about his new baby brother.
'Lovable, naïve and very French, Nicholas is timeless'
The Guardian
'illustrated with diabolic humour by Jean Jacques Sempé … a series of subversive stories about a little French boy which has captivated readers since the Sixties.'
Evening Standard
'a chic and sturdily childproof new English edition, translated in ebullient vernacular by Anthea Bell'
The Spectator
'...Liberally endowed with Sempe's tiny, comic cartoon figures, these whimsical mini-adventures will captivate readers...'

Jean-Jacques Sempé (b.1932) is one of the world’s most successful illustrators and cartoonists. He is the illustrator of the classic children’s-book character, Nicholas, and author of a collection of some thirty albums of his cartoons and graphic novels, all published or to be published by Phaidon. His world-renowned illustrations and cartoons are featured on the cover of the New Yorker and in Paris Match.
René Goscinny (1926–77), born in Paris, lived most of his early years in Buenos Aires and New York. He returned to France in the 1950s where he met Jean-Jacques Sempé and together they created the character for Nicholas, the famous schoolboy. He later worked with Alberto Uderzo, on making the adventures of Asterix the Gaul. A prolific and internationally successful children´s author, he is also the creater of Lucky Luke and Dingodossiers, among others. He also received Césars for his numerous animated cartoons.
