Okay, we need to talk about this book that I purchased a week or two ago.
I was in a wonderful local, independent bookstoore, looking for things with which to spoil Middle Sister’s impending spawn, when I came across this:
Yes, friends, this is a Les Mis picture book.
And it is amazing.
I hereby petition that every musical!Valjean must sing “Who Am I?” to a cat.
The Valjean-Cosette relationship is done so well.
AND THEN WE MEET MARIUS:
His hair! His posture! The way he’s holding his hat! He’s so perfect!
I guarantee that you are not emotionally prepared to meet Enjolras, but here he is:
GLORIOUS POC ENJOLRAS WITH HIS GLORIOUS REVOLUTIONARY MUSTACHE. HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOUR LONELY SOUL, MARIUS, HE’S TOO BUSY LOOKING LIKE ALEXANDRE DUMAS.
Les Amis. We’re going to get a closer look at those speech bubbles because they are amazing:
Cosette really loves… Paris
Valjean has really iffy reasons for doing things…
I love Marius constantly falling over in this one:
And the bittersweet ending:
This book is amazing.
Oh my goodness thank you SO much for scanning this in
THAT MARIUS and is that a photo of the Bishop on the wall of Valjean’s house at the end??
