The Crab with the Golden Claws: The Official Classic Children’s Illustrated Mystery Adventure Series

I ordered some Tintin books it arrived in good print quality. Satisfied

Lovely book

My son finds these adventures highly amusing, and usually doesn't put a story down until it's finished. He's at an age where attention span can be a problem, and these picture stories are a remedy to the problem of engaging and retaining an interest in reading. The large pages hold a wealth of easy-to-read and easy-to-see information. My son often points out a particularly funny sequence to me, and with this large format it is easy for hime to point, read out loud and share, while I sit alongside him and am equally able to follow. Insist on these large editions and avoid all substitutes.

Another one added to my collection. Still a great read.

Both my kids love this series. Lovely sized book , plenty of pictures. Encouraged them to read.

Gift

As described

Dad read as a kid and loved for Christmas this year.

album BD anglophone broché souple grand format ancien (1974/1953/1939) traduction du Crabe aux pinces d'or; cette neuvième aventure des célèbres héros d'Hergé fait partie des oeuvres d'avant-guerre (les automobiles et avions sont datées de cette époque) à part Tintin, Milou, les Dupondt et leurs chutes, le personnage principal qui fait son apparition est le capitaine Haddock, marin alcoolique notoire, manipulé par une bande de méchants trafiquants; par ailleurs l'intrigue nous fait voyager au Moyen-orient et les populations arabes sont traitées de manière un peu condescendante qui laisse affleurer l'esprit colonial de l'époque (qui ne passe plus de nos jours); sa lecture en anglais est grandement aidée par le dessin, il faut seulement s'habituer aux jurons du capitaine Haddock; la plupart des personnages ont le même nom que dans la version d'origine; dans cette édition Little Brown souple, le papier est robuste et il ne manque que la couverture rigide pour compléter votre collection mais cette version sera parfaite à bas prix en attendant

I love it......................!

Le Crabe aux pinces d'or tells the adventure of young Belgian reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, who travels to Morocco to pursue a gang of international opium dealers. This story introduces the emotional, bumbling hot-headed pipe smoking Marine, Captain Haddock famous for his colourful vocabulary and a penchant for rum and whiskey. Though an exhilarating tale, but couldn't help noticing the similarities with Hergé's earlier Tintin adventure 'Cigars of the Pharoah' - both featuring the smuggling of opium in crab tins and cigars respectively and desert treks, hostile tribes and at the end, the infiltration of a secret underground liar. The cream on top being the recurring character of Allan( he plays a major role in the later)

Another great comic by Hergé and from THE land of Comic strip, Belgium.

A great read and introduces captain haddock to the series.
