- 5. Rene Goscinny (1926-1977) AUTHOR Goscinny wasborn in Paris in 1926, to a family of Jewish immigrants from Poland. His parents were Stanisław Simkha Gościnny, a chemical engineer, from Warsaw, Poland and Anna Bereśniak-Gościnna from Chodorków, part of Ukraine. Goscinny's grandfather, Abraham Lazare Berezniak, founded a printing company. Claude, René's older brother was born six years earlier, on 10 December 1920. Stanisław and Anna had met in Paris and married in 1919. The Gościnnys moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, two years after René's birth, because of a chemical engineer post Stanisław had obtained there. He spent a happy childhood in Buenos Aires, and studied in the French schools there. He had a habit of being the "class clown", probably to compensate for a natural shyness. He started drawing very early on, inspired by the illustrated stories which he enjoyed reading. SKETCHMAN Sempé was expelled from school as a young man, and then failed to pass exams for the post office, a bank and the railroad. He then found work selling tooth powder as a door-to-door salesman and also worked delivering wine by bicycle in the Gironde. After lying about his age, he joined the army in 1950, since it was "the only place that would give me a job and a bed," he subsequently explained, and would occasionally get into trouble for drawing while he was supposed to be keeping watch during guard duty. After being discharged from the army, he moved to Paris and began working with René Goscinny. Jan Jacque Sempé (1932-…)
- 6. REVIEW A bestseller inFrance since 1959, this uproarious translation is a time warp to a kind of children's book you don't see much anymore. Rene Goscinny, author of the ’Asterix’ series, imbues his short, funny stories with no deeper meaning, no character development, and above all, no life lessons. All of the characters are badly behaved but oddly charming. These manage to amuse without resorting to the vulgarity relied upon by so many modern authors. Filled with tiny cartoons by New Yorker artist Jean-Jacques Sempé that perfectly match the text, this will keep many children amused for hours, though the more worldly may find it tepid. It is tepid, but that can be a virtue. If you're looking for a bedtime read-aloud that will get your kids giggling without getting them too riled up, you could hardly do better. • IS IT ANY GOOD?
