We couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to bring them back for their feature debut! Life at the Chateau of Versailles isn\u2019t always a piece of gateau, or cake. Violet\u2019s uncle R\u00e9gis puts in hours of hard work as caretaker of the grounds, and the home they share is but a workman\u2019s petit quarters, not a gilded corner of the palace proper. It\u2019s a big change from the Paris apartment where Violet lived before she lost her parents. But because her uncle\u2019s heart is so big, she manages to feel right at home. Full of simple lines rich with color as adapted from the award-winning graphic novel, this story takes a dash of bande dessin\u00e9e and a teaspoon of Truffaut to create a true pi\u00e8ce de resistance!
