Fra omslaget: "Meet Nicholas, the energetic French schoolboy who is forever in some kind of trouble. His adventures and exploits are brought to life by René Goscinny, the author of Asterix, and world-renowned illustrator Jean-Jacques Sempé. Whether at home or at school, Nicholas and his friends are caught up in a series of hilarious escapades that always result in confusion, especially for their parents and teatchers. Originally published in France in 1959 and a constant best-seller ever since, Nicholas, the first in a series of books, is now available in English to be read, re-read, and loved forever."
