Grandville Bete Noire

"I have greatly enjoyed the Grandville books. I think they're superbly designed, beautifully conceived, admirably written - everything about them is terrific... A graphic novel built on the solid foundation of a strong story." -- Philip Pullman "The third and finest stand-alone volume in the award-winning 'scientific-romance-thriller' series. These ingeniously plotted fantasies will make you bark with laughter." -- Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro "The bastard child of Conan Doyle and Beatrix Potter, it's a gripping feast for the eyes." -- Rachel Cooke Observer "Both acerbic and hilarious." Mr. Hyde "This ripping yarn of murder, mystery and the machinating arms tycoon Baron Krapaud of Toad Hall is both irresistibly exciting and sumptuously designed." -- David Langford Telegraph
