Nicholas

“Little Nicholas” is a children’s book series about a boy named Nicholas and his friends, authored by René Goscinny (writer of the comics “Asterix and Obelix”) and the artist Jean-Jacques Sempé. The books have been translated into 37 languages worldwide (in Russian, it was translated by Irina Pressman). Stories about the “French equivalent of Denis’ka” are a great success. The events take place in France in 1962, that is, before the 1974 reform, when boys studied separately from girls and Thursday was a day off for schoolchildren.

Funny stories have been adapted for film many times.
