My contribution to this celebration is a tribute piece to one of my favourite book series: The Adventures of Tintin, by Hergé (Georges Remi). A twenty-four volume series of classic adventures, where the plucky young reporter faces off against royal kidnappers/drug smugglers (Cigars of the Pharaoh), a Lost South American tribe (The Seven Crystal Balls/ Prisoners of the Sun), even the notorious Al Capone (Tintin in America). He was even the first human on the moon!
The series is a joy for children of all ages, full of excitement, morals, friendship and humour. I urge you to buy them for your children, and whilst your at it, read it yourself.
