'Monsieur Lambert' is the unmistakably French story of a group of regulars at a Parisian bistro, who meet each other for lunch every day, without fail. They are creatures of habit, eating the same set meal on the same day, week in week out.
This is a wonderful little read, exquisitely illustrated by Jean-Jacques Sempe and brilliantly translated from the French by Anthea Bell. Sempe has to be one of the world's finest illustrators alive and he works wonders with just a traditional dip-pen and pot of india ink. His subtlety in both line and text is perfectly translated by Bell, who seems to be able to channel Sempe's humour.
