THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN RETURN IN WELSH
The redheaded Belgian reporter, Tintin has had a nose for a story for over 80 years. But this week, after a 25 year absence, Tintin’s nose will lead him to some new Welsh tales.
Thursday, November 6th, in a day full of activities at Borders bookshop in Llantrisant, two new books in a new series of Tintin will be launched by Dalen, Mwg Drwg y Pharo ac Awyren 714 i Sydney, familiar to English readers as Cigars of the Pharaoh and Flight 714.
Tintin was the fruits of Belgian writer, Herger’s imagination. Having first appeared in a newspaper in 1929, Tintin’s success has grown and grown and has now been translated into over 70 languages. 5 tomes of the series appeared in Welsh at the beginning of the 1980s, but this is the first time Cigars of the Pharaoh and Flight 714 has had the Welsh treatment. This time around, the books also have a Welsh flavour as the names of the characters reflect Welsh history and traditions giving a new generation of readers a chance to enjoy one of the world’s most famous heroes, not forgetting his little K9 sidekick of course!
