Tintin Forums

I mentioned this on our Facebook page a day or so ago, but neglected to carry it over to here, so I’m now seeking to address the over-sight!

The web-site The Compulsive Reader has interviewed Stuart Tett about his work compiling the new naterial for the Little Brown “Young Reader” editions.

As I have said elsewhere, I’d have been a very happy camper if, as a small child, I’d come across the mine of information and back-ground material which Stuart has managed to fit in; it’s hard to believe in these internet forum days, with books like the Companion on our shelves, DVDs of the cartoons and CDs of music playing as we get information off the web, that as recently as the early nineties there was virtually no data to be had.

Now these books are bringing a comprehensive body of detailed research to Tintinologists, young and old, and I think the effort should be commended. They outstrip the approach of the old “Making of” books, and I look forward to Stuart completing further volumes in the series!
