Seeing the Tin Tin books arrive late last year made me feel all fuzzy and nostalgic!!! These stories are pure bliss - and I was happily vaulted back to all those afternoons when I pored endlessly over the adventures of this boy detective and his dog Snowy. -and such cool characters, too!! Who could forget Captain Haddock and all of his lovely expletives ("blistering barnacles!"), or my favorite lawyers Thompson and Thomson! Maybe you're longing for a trip down memory lane, too!!! It seems a lot of our visitors are; when we put our beautiful new Tin Tin collection in the window many people stopped and asked "Where are those books? I've just got to show my kids!". I think these are a must-have for every library, and the best part is that kids will love them, but they provide a perfect (imaginary!) getaway for any age!!! I should know - they are among my husband's favorites!!!!
