Customer Reviews

At last, Monsieur Lambert is in English!

This is a wonderful little read, exquisitely illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempe and brilliantly translated from the French by Anthea Bell. Sempe has to be one of the world's finest illustrators alive and he works wonders with just a traditional dip-pen and pot of india ink. His subtlety in both line and text is perfectly translated by Bell, who seems to be able to channel Sempe's humour.
