The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (PB)

Product Description

While looking through an old sea-chest found in his attic, Captain Haddock chances upon the diaries of his ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock. This legendary sea dog achieved fame through his renowned run-in with the fearsome pirate Red Rackham. So are the words of Sir Francis Haddock just another chronicle of life at sea? Certainly not! His journals speak of a fabulous hoard of jewels: for Tintin, Captain Haddock - and a gang of crooks - the treasure hunt is well and truly on. But as the search continues, the plot thickens...

A series of comic strips created by Belgian artist Herge, still popular more than 80 years after their original publication. The hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures by his faithful fox terrier dog Snowy. Other popular additions to the cast include the brash, cynical and grumpy Captain Haddock, the bright but hearing-impaired Professor Calculus and the incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson.
