Synopsis of Die Knilche von der letzten Bank

«Die Knilche von der letzten Bank» is an anthology of school humour by Jean-Charles, published by Blanvalet in hardback (222 pages, in German).

It brings together witty remarks and clever answers from children in the school environment, collected from notebooks and essays; anyone who has been a back-row pupil will recognise themselves in these quips and pranks. The German edition is illustrated by Fritz Biermann.

Published in 1980, the work is a selection from La foire aux cancres and La rire en herbe, with a translation by Siegfried Kadner.

For readers who enjoy children's humour and school wit, and for those who appreciate illustrated anthologies from the eighties.
