Matchups for S1 : Final
Ella Enchanted (Gail Carson Levine) VS The Lunar Chronicles (Marissa Meyer)
Collection “Jean de la Hire”
“I.S.” , a counter-spy fiction, a thriller, was the opener of this collection devoted to Jean de la Hire. Not yet numbered as it was published in November 1952. They didn’t probably know how far (and fast) they would or could go with the reissues/rewritings of Jean de la Hire’s novels.
I.S. was a rewrited reissue of “Le secret des Torelwoch”, originally issued in 1934.
