Basil et Victoria #5

The fifth volume of Edith and Yann's charming *Basil & Victoria* series brings the young duo to the storm-lashed rooftops of "Ravenstein," and the cover sets a wonderfully moody scene. Two small figures — one clutching a chimney sweep's brush, the other wide-eyed with alarm — crouch among snow-dusted chimney stacks while jagged lightning splits the dark sky and an ominous cloaked figure looms at the edge with a large bird perched nearby. Published by Les Humanoïdes Associés in 2007, this volume promises the same blend of gothic atmosphere and adventurous spirit that makes this series such a pleasure for readers of all ages.
