They were the first french books I'd read. I loved Snowy and wanted to have a pet dog just like him.

Tintin is surprisingly portable across generations, cultures, and genres.

Growing up in India, I had been a huge fan of Tintin. Reading books, and buying them, you had to be at least middle class, it wasn't accessible as libraries in the West. But still, was popular as I recall amongst the well educated since at least the late 90's and early 00's (when I grew up) I think.
