Somewhere between a Paris goodbye and an American return flight… this set was likely tucked into a suitcase.

This is a 1979 bilingual pairing of Tintin in America by Hergé—one in English (Little, Brown) and one in French (Casterman hardcover), found together and still telling the same story from two sides of the Atlantic.

The French edition carries a handwritten inscription from the “famille Leroux,” signed by multiple hands—warm, personal, and almost certainly a parting gift. The kind of note you don’t translate… you just feel.

Found together, kept together—offered as a pair.

Condition:
• English copy: visible wear with some staining on final page
• French copy: strong presentation overall with inscription inside
• Both complete and fully readable

Whether you’re a Tintin collector, language enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates objects with a past—this is more than a book set… it’s a small piece of someone’s journey.
