One of the most iconic characters in children’s literature

Hergé’s classic comic book creation Tintin is one of the most recognisable characters in children’s books. These highly collectible editions of the original 24 adventures will delight Tintin fans old and new. Perfect for lovers of graphic novels, mysteries and historical adventures. The world’s most famous travelling reporter must call on a feathered friend to track down a famous artifact … and solve a murder in the process. The Arumbaya fetish has been stolen! But with the help of a talking parrot, Tintin is soon on the hunt for the famous artefact, which can be distinguished by its broken ear. He must solve a murder and discover the true value of the fetish, and quick – because he is not the only one on the trail! Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011. The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 90 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then more than 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th. Hergé (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years he completed over 20 titles in The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time.

The Broken Ear is a dramatic and funny story. This story is about a small wooden statue that is being stolen from a museum. My favourite character is Rigewell. I recommend you to read this book. Thank you for reading!

The Broken Ear in the Tintin series is a very good book. To me, there are certain moments when I brain went still and was in awe! There was a robbery at the museum and Tintin has to embark on a journey across the river, onto a ship to return it to the museum. There are so many other books in the series too. I recommend this to others who enjoy crime, mystery, adventure and comics.

The Broken Ear in the Tintin series isn’t a book really, it’s a comic. There was a robbery of an item in the museum and Tintin has to embark on a mission to get that jewel back. There is lots of adventures in this comic. I would recommend to read the whole series to someone else.

This book is another adventure that Tintin and his dog go on. In this one Tintin is chasing gangsters around South America, trying to find why they want a meaningless artefact.
