The Blue Lotus: The Official Classic Children’s Illustrated Mystery Adventure Series (The Adventures of Tintin)

Nothing like Tintin for a book with plenty of twists and turns.

Brought for Xmas present 👍

Good Item!! Says as described.

ok

As a child, I remember going to the library and checking out the Tintin books and being drawn into the adventure, wishing I could be Tintin. Now in my late 20's, I have decided to purchase all the Tintin books so that when my 2 year old is a bit older, I can share the world of Tintin with him :-D

Among the earlier Tintin adventures, this books sees our young reporter battle both corrupt officials and opium smugglers in China. The adventure zips along confidently and with an optimistic enthusiasm that never fails to put a smile on my face. Villains get bonked over the head, guns never seem to do more than graze people and Snowy continues to save the day. It's great entertainment, though at times the various diabolical schemes can be a little hard to follow. Unfortunately, while The Blue Lotus is a wonderful example of uncomplicated fun that's hard to find these days, it's also tainted with the sheen of casual racial stereotyping common to fiction from the period. It's certainly not on the same level as Tintin in the Congo, and there's even a section where Tintin explains how foolish the prejudices of the time were, but it can still make for uncomfortable reading. Certainly, if I was going to buy this for a child I would want to at least put things in some sort of historical context.

Tintin books are amazing it has great illustrations and it's a good story plus you can buy 1 month as a treat

It was a gift for my Grandson. It arrived just before his birthday, brilliant as I had left it late in ordering it. He loves it!

Dem ist kaum etwas hinzuzufügen ... dieser Band ist einer der besten von Tim und Struppi! In englischer Sprache ist der Comic gut geeignet, um ein wenig die Sprache zu trainieren.

Brilliant

My eleven-year old son absolutely loves the entire Tintin series. I purchased all the comics and he so enjoys them that I have to restrict him to reading one a day, which I make available to him when I pick him up at school. They are so well written, clever, and all around entertaining that despite an iPad and an iPhone that my son owns, he opts instead to read his Tintin comic on the drive home from school. Your child will unsuspectingly learn world history and pick up on great vocabulary. Highly, highly recommended!!!

特に品質面も問題なく、子どもは喜んでます。 価格も市販より少し安めでいいのではないでしょうか。

Indémodable aventures de tintin parfait pour perfectionner son anglais. Livre de bonne qualité. Je le recommande. Pas decu de cet achat
