Random House Books for Young Readers The Adventures of Tintin: Volume 1 (Compact Editions)

I loved tintin as a boy. Soviets relates to cold war russia and is quite a long graphic novel as such.Herge still has not quite rendered his character of tintin and sadly after all this time still is printed in black and white. The other 'congo' is a story relating to tintin visiting belgian collonial congo. His first visit to africa during the colonial days.

An economical way to get hold of the Tintin series. My husband reads them to our son in the evening and they really enjoy it. It is a compact book that our 7 year-old son enjoys carrying around wherever we go so he can read if he gets bored. Very much loved in our household.

Bought to replace the series that my sister borrowed some 40 - 50 years ago as I like to have a set.

What's there not to like - Great

What's not to love - childhood memories and comic book presentation make this a winner. My 11 yr old is Dyslexic - this type of book encourages his reading and vocabulary is addictive
