Flying Cheese: Adventures of the Family from Cherbourg

Jean-Philippe Arru-Vinyo — one of those six Jean brothers we are going to talk about. To be more precise — Jean B., the second eldest. Since childhood, he loved to read. In 1984, he published his first «adult» novel, for which he received the «Best Debut» award, and a few years later released his second book — a children's one. Today, Arru-Vinyo, the author of around thirty books, heads the children's literature department at the largest independent French publishing house «Gallimard». His series «Adventures of the Family from Cherbourg», so beloved by children and parents in France, was created in collaboration with the famous illustrator Dominique Corbasson, whose works can be seen in magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Madame Figaro, and Vanity Fair. In spirit, «Adventures of the Family from Cherbourg» remind of the famous «Little Nicolas» by René Goscinny and Jean-Jacques Sempé: the heroes of «The Family» are the same cheerful, restless boys who are always eager to stir something up.
