Hermes

Über den Autor

Luc Charbin has a taste for well-chosen words and stories retrieved from oblivion. Privy to the secrets of dictionaries and encyclopedias, he has made family archives his specialty. His pen has contributed to many collective works including editorials and speeches. Straight from the Horse¿s Mouth is his first publication written under his own name. After studying at Camberwell College of Arts in London, Alice Charbin returned to Paris where she now lives with Luc and their five children. She works for publishers as well as the press and the theatre. An author and illustrator of books for readers both young and old, she loves to create a colorful and poetic universe, which is brought to life through the tender humor of her drawings. Having contributed to the Hermès website for fifteen years, her illustrations were compiled into a book, Hermès au fil des jours (Chêne, 2019). Her latest publication, Rita sauvèe des eaux, came out in 2020 (Delcourt). She also happens to be one of the many great-grandchildren of Émile Hermès.
