Martine
23:09Gosh, you can't believe how happy I am on what I just found. It's Martine series, the books I grew up with by Gilbert Delahaye. It's about a young girl named Martine (It's Tini in Indonesia, Debbie in USA but originally is Martine--in France) who has a dog Patapouf (it's Pupi in Indonesian) and cat Moustache (Mimi in Indonesian.) She lives with her older brother Jean (Yan), younger brother Alain and both parents. She is experiencing a happy childhood and those illustrations carved deep in my heart even until years later.
I love the 50's drawings of Marcel Marlier all over the books and all my childhood I was dreaming about a life like hers to be mine. Here are some of the illustration of the books I had that I got from the web. J'adore ces livres!
