"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.

Sorry to folks in the UK: I understand that Imgur is still blocked for you, for some blockhead reason. Here's the art backup, available via Archive.PH as necessary:

(I sometimes forget to included that info, so please drop your polite British reserve (hihihi) and just smack me upside the head when I forget in future, mates?)

That's beautiful, I might struggle through with a translation app since my French is too woefully inadequate to do it myself.

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.
