Le Monde merveilleux des vieux #2

The second volume of Laetitia Coryn's affectionate comedy series brings its elderly heroine front and center in grand fairy-tale style — the cover depicts a stout, crown-wearing older woman in an enormous pink gown holding court before a storybook castle, surrounded by small figures dressed as fairies and fantasy courtiers. It's a cheerful send-up of the enchanted-kingdom genre, reimagined through the lens of grandmotherly dignity and gentle absurdity. Fans of Coryn's warm humor will find this 2009 Glénat release a delightful continuation of the series.
