His mother, Bulle, formerly known as Aglaia, was once the all-powerful queen of the country Marylene. Since Marylene’s fall, residents have lived in peace thanks to a self-governing system they have adopted. But when Boris meets Sabine, a warrior French fry thirsty for revenge, nothing will ever be the same ...The third book in Anne Simon’s “Tales of Marylene '' graphic novel series (after \u003ci\u003eThe Song of Aglaia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEmpress Cixtisis\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eBoris the Potato Child\u003c\/i\u003e delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses. Mixing literature and pop culture (such as mashing Simone de Beauvoir with the Beatles), Simon has created in Marylene a world as abundant in visual imagination as Oz or Narnia, but crafted with a Swiftian pen that’s mightier than any man’s sword.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Simon\u003c\/b\u003e lives in Paris and studied art in the internationally renowned comics city of Angoulême, France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJenna Allen\u003c\/b\u003e is a freelance translator based in Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556381413537,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781683965626","price":38.94,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781683965626_28453bfe-2ce9-4f2d-877e-5e35d37d3fd2.jpg?v=1781813116","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/boris-the-potato-child-hardcover-by-anne-simon","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
