With the addition of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo and Tintin and Alph Art, all of Hergé’s original Tintin albums are now included in this collectable, hardback set. Beautiful new covers celebrating an iconic children’s character and perennial favourite.

An exciting new Tintin activity and story album – perfect for Tintin fans and all young detectives. Includes facts on Tintin, his creator, Hergé, his friends, enemies and adventures as well as exciting puzzles and ideas for things to make and games to play.

In an interview shortly before his death, Hergé wrote of the last Tintin adventure: ‘The plot revolves around a tale of forgers... The book is set in the world of contemporary art. The narration itself is in the course of evolution. I am still doing my research and I honestly don’t know where this story will lead me.’ Sadly, the tale was never completed, but this unique book gives an insight into the work Hergé had done on the project before he died. At the end, Tintin is about to be cast into a living sculpture by a mysterious enemy - one last cliff-hanger for the world’s best loved journalist.

First published in book form in 1931 (in black and white only), this Tintin adventure reflects the colonial attitudes of that period in its depiction of African people. Hergé himself admitted that he was influenced by the bourgeois, paternalistic stereotypes of the period. A collectors’ item and new to Australia in colour.
