Author & Illustrators
Don’t expect to encounter the Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe within the pages of this book. Paul Berna’s classic is set in the back streets of Paris, on the periphery of the city, where a band of scruffy children get entangled in the theft of a hundred million francs from the Paris-Ventimiglia Express. This is a lovely adventure, packed with likeable characters, twists, turns and a satisfying comeuppance for the villains.
