Nobody S Boy Sans Famille Illustrated By John B Gruelle

Nobody’s Boy (Sans Famille), is a novel by the French author Hector Malot (1830 – 1907). It was originally published in 1878, and contains two volumes – both telling of the exploits of a little boy named Rémi (an orphan sold to a street musician at the age of eight), and his search for his family. Malot was an immensely skilled author, penning over seventy books in his lifetime, as well as training as a lawyer and working as a dramatic critic. Although Sans Famile has since gained fame as a children’s book, it was not originally intended as such. The story of Nobody’s Boy is accompanied by the heart-warming colour illustrations of Johnny Gruelle (1880 – 1938). Gruelle was an American artist, cartoonist, illustrator and children’s author – best known as the creator of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. His most famous illustrated works include Grimm’s Fairy Tales (1914), All About the Little Small Red Hen (1917), and of course, the Raggedy Ann series. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate Malot’s masterful storytelling.

Nobody's Boy is a classic coming-of-age story by Hector Malot, and this edition includes the original four illustrations of the tale. Inspired by the young street musicians from Italy who lived in Paris in the late 19th century, the titular 'Nobody's Boy' is Rémi, who was abandoned as a baby in Paris. Taken in by the impoverished Jerome Barberin and his wife, he is given up at eight years old to a travelling artist known as Signor Vitalis. Vitalis is a great lover of animals, and travels with his faithful dogs and a monkey. Thus begin Rémi's adventures, where he grapples with hardship and adversities but remains determined to become an upstanding young man. The book remains the best-known and most-treasured of Hector Malot's works, having been adapted for the stage, as an animated cartoon, and as a film. The tale gained particular popularity in Japan; introduced as a film entitled Chibikko Remi to Meiken Kapi by Toei Animation in 1970, it has since been readapted by other studios in the country.
