Little Nick is a summer guest at Le Temps

The Geneva daily newspaper Le Temps is sweetening its readers' summer with the adventures of the cartoon character Petit Nicolas. A total of eight short stories will appear in the culture section on Saturdays from July 8 to August 26. Le Temps is thus able to offer preprints from a new volume that will be published on October 5: The second part of "Histoires inédites du Petit Nicolas" features 45 stories of little Nicolas, embellished with 120 drawings by Sempé. Le Petit Nicolas comes from the pens of Asterix creators René Goscinny and Sempé. The cartoons were created in the 1950s and have become a literary cult.
