"The Fisher and the Salamander."

So, in French, we only capitalise the first noun in a title? But I see exceptions, sometimes! Ugh, it's pretty confusing for me. Any advice?

Likeable book, I'd say aimed at a mid-teen audience or so. I really like how artist Zoé Simpson just crushes it with some of these panels.

Both the French and the story are pretty elementary, so it shouldn't be much of a struggle, either way.

Also, those are certainly some of the most beautiful panels, so not everything's going to look quite as lovely.
