Madeline and the Old House in Paris

Description

In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines ...Plus, one very unhappy ghost! Madeline's next-door neighbour, Pepito, returns in this lively romp as the two friends set out to find the source of mysterious, ghostly groans in the night. Feisty and fearless as ever, Madeline just says 'pooh-pooh,' and her many fans will cheer with delight in sharing her newest adventure.

John Bemelmans Marciano, like his grandfather Ludwig Bemelmans, is a talented artist as well as a writer of both adult and children's books.

His previous Madeline books include Madeline at the White House, Madeline and the Cats of Rome, and Madeline Says Merci. He is also the author of The 9 Lives of Alexander Baddenfiled, illustrated by Sophie Blackall. John grew up on a horse farm in Three Bridges, New Jersey, and attended Columbia University in New York City. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Andromache, who is a set designer, and their daughter Galatea.
