Madame Pamplemousse and the Time-Travelling Café de Rupert Kingfisher

Madame Pamplemousse and the Time-Travelling Café

Autor Rupert Kingfisher Ilustrat de Sue Hellard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2010 – vârsta de la 9 ani
In Paris, there is a café, elegantly furnished with polished wooden tables and an awning of striped gold and green, whose walls are filled with vintage posters advertising drinks such as Green Fairy Liqueur, Mermaid Madeira and Red Devil Lemonade. And sitting on the bar is a large, silver, steam-powered espresso coffee machine.The café is owned by Monsieur Moutarde, and Monsieur Moutarde has made the most extraordinary discovery. With the help of his friend, Madame Pamplemousse, he has created a time-travel machine (for that is what the espresso coffee machine is). Very special, highly flavoured, intense ingredients are fed into the machine, where they are subatomically blended with quantum froth and space-time foam. The resulting liquid looks like a small black coffee but in fact transports the drinker through time and space.
But this is a dangerous invention. For who knows what would happen if it fell into the wrong hands? Before long, Monsieur Moutarde, Madame Pamplemousse, her cat, Camembert, and her friend, Madeleine, are on the run through space and time to capture a T. rex's freshly caught drool and the tears of the rare sphinx - vital ingredients for a tonic that will both save them and revive the ailing spirit of Paris.

A magical romp that will charm and delight.

Caracteristici

The sequel to the highly acclaimed Madame Pamplemousse and Her Incredible Edibles, which was Waterstone's Book of the Month in hardback

Notă biografică

Rupert Kingfisher's first book, Madame Pamplemousse and Her Incredible Edibles, was highly acclaimed. His favourite authors as a child were Roald Dahl, Susan Cooper and Ursula le Guin. He also loved American horror comics and French cartoon books such as Asterix and Tintin. It was on a family holiday to Paris that Rupert discovered Tintin - and ate anchovies for the first time. He says that both experiences were equally life changing.
Rupert studied Philosophy at Bristol University and Play Writing at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Rupert has had plays performed in Dublin, Edinburgh, London and on BBC Radio 4. He grew up in Oxfordshire and now lives in Brentford, Middlesex.

Recenzii

Praise for Madame Pamplemousse and her Incredible Edibles:

'Enchanting debut . . . witty, warm-hearted and as delectable as one of the dishes it describes, this is as much a hymn to the culinary arts as to the magic of kindness, and is recommended for 6-9s'
A sophisticated book for sophisticated readers. Warmly recommended for librarians who need children as an excuse to buy the book'
Praise for Madame Pamplemousse and the Enchanted Sweet Shop:

'A charming, magical and sweet-filled adventure'
