Book signing at La Page

Histoires du loup qui habite dans ma chambre,
d'Hervé Walbecq

Samedi 18 Mai de 14h à 16h30 à la Librairie La Page.

Venez rencontrer Hervé Walbecq et découvrir ses belles histoires Magie, Poésie et petit goûter au programme !

Allongé dans son lit, le héros voit la neige tomber. Au loin, il entend un loup qui l'appelle tristement et lui demande s'il peut l'héberger. Il prend un bonnet et un sac à dos et part à sa rencontre à travers une grande forêt de sapins. Hervé Walbecq est un auteur-illustrateur à l’image de ses histoires: la tête pleine de poésie et d’imagination. Après ses Histoires d’enfants à lire aux animaux, il nous replonge dans son univers de conteur poétique avec de nouvelles aventures qui montrent son amour pour la nature, les animaux et les choses. Ses dessins épurés sont doux, ils nous transportent dans son monde avec la légèreté d’un rêve. (à partir de 8-9 ans)

Some history about us...

The French bookshop La Page was the first of its type to open, in 1978, at the heart of South Kensington. Since opening it has provided French books, stationery products, and newspapers to all those wanting the real taste of France at their doorstep.
Faithful to this mission, the current director Isabelle Lemarchand, who took over in 2008, vowed to offer an efficient service delivered by a friendly and professional staff. Last May we opened a new shop south of the Thames where you can find the same French spirit.
Step into one of our two bookshops to find French books, films, stationery, newspapers and magazines, games for all age, gifts and even more!

We look forward to meeting you soon!
