Beskrivning
From the New York Times bestselling illustrators of Beauty and Beautiful Darkness comes a fleet, tongue-in-cheek adult fairy tale graphic novel where love is found in the least likely places and nothing is quite what it seems . . .This lighthearted, sharply witty adult fairy tale is a delightful and quirky take on toxic workplaces, with a dash of Puss in Boots–style antics and a little romance thrown in for good measure.Serine is a poor but plucky daughter of a sickly nobleman who must make her way in the royal court to avoid being married off once her father dies. Although she is illiterate and owns only one dress, she manages to charm her way into the fickle queen’s good graces—but the royal court is not a kind place for a country bumpkin.Silly, sweet Serine must smarten up if she wants to survive the queen’s fits of pique, the court ladies’ gossip, and the royal advisor’s evil schemes.With nothing but her wits and the help of the friendly, handsome torturer’s apprentice, can she find a way to save her job, save the kingdom, and find true love along the way? Or will she be forced to play the fool?

The Court Charade is their first fairy-tale graphic novel to be translated in English since the success of their New York Times bestselling graphic novel Beautiful Darkness (Drawn & Quarterly, 2014). Flore Vesco was born in 1981. She writes many things—from young adult novels to comic books to postcards for her friends to passionate letters to her many lovers. She lives in Montreuil, France, most of the year, and in her imagination for the rest of the time. She is the author of the novel The Court Charade is adapted from, De Cape et Des Mots.

Recensioner i media

"Vesco’s world resembles a fairy tale version of 18th-century France, where ignorance and cruelty hold little power against cleverness and kindness. Kerascoët’s charming, lightly cartoony art and evocative character designs brim with energy, practically leaping off the page. The result is a delightful adventure ideal for fans of Jules Feiffer."
