The Wild Piano by Fred

Not since Carroll's Alice has there been such a marvelous and incredible adventure.--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Look closely at the map in your library, classroom, or home to discover eight fantastic letters: A-T-L-A-N-T-I-C You'll be shocked at all the magic that one little word can hold. The farm boy Philemon knows better than anyone what the Atlantic promises; he tumbled down a well last year and fell out the other side onto the island of A That time, Philemon barely escaped with his life. Now he must return to the Atlantic and search for the friend he left behind. His journey will take him deep into those little letters on your map--so deep, in fact, that he fears he might never see his farm again. What surprises await him on the mysterious island of N?

Frü¾Ž–”¼dü¾Ž–”¼ric Othon Aristidü¾Ž†”¼s (1931-2013), known as Fred, is one of France's most influential and revered cartoonists. When he was young, he loved to read Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde. In the sixties, Fred co-founded Hara-Kiri, the leading satirical publication of the May '68 movement--he designed its first 60 covers. Philü¾Ž–”¼mon, his story for young readers, was first published in Pilote in 1972 by Renü¾Ž–”¼ Goscinny, the author of the Astü¾Ž–”¼rix series. Philü¾Ž–”¼mon is Fred's most celebrated creation: millions of young French people have grown up with it, and it has inspired many of today's most talented cartoonists. The sixteenth and final volume of Philü¾Ž–”¼mon was released in 2013, before Fred's passing.
