First appearing in the pages of the periodical Spirou, in March,1965, Sibylline is a little mouse living  and having adventures in a world full of fantasy along with many other anthropomorphic characters including his main antagonist the black rat Anathema.

I’ve reviewed the collection Sibylline 1969-1974 here:

This is a superb high quality collection of the best of the series and the colour literally bounces off the pages and there are visual gags and –thankfully, for me- some pretty basic jokes.

This is just as good as vol. 2  -having not seen volume 1 I can’t comment on complaints by some bloggers as to quality but I seriously cannot see a company like Casterman sending out an inferior product.

Fun for all ages –and a good way to learn basic French!
******************************************************
My apologies for the scan quality. It seems common that French comic sites and companies to not preview pages of new books nor give links to a few sample pages for reviewers to use. This is important as I think people interested in buying need to see a sample of the work. So, as I lay the book flat to scan I heard what no bibliophile likes to hear -”crack!”. These books are for reading not scanning!
