Dogs and Bears - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Max Porter is the author of four novels, including the Sunday Times #1 bestseller Shy, the Booker Prize longlisted Lanny, and the multi-award winning Grief is the Thing with Feathers, which has been translated into thirty six languages.

Dorothée de Monfreid was born in 1973. She lives and works in Paris. She is an author and illustrator; her books reveal a territory between albums and comic books. Her work is rigorous and whimsical, precise and burlesque all at once.


She has created and developed the 'Doggies' series after 2012, exploring human relationships through the adventures of a group of dogs; there are now 16 titles, all published at l'école des loisirs. She started publishing comic books for grown-ups in 2019: Ada & Rosie (Casterman, 2019), Les choses de l'amour (Misma, 2020), Carnets de Campagne (Dargaud + Seuil), 2022, Formidable (Casterman, 2024), and Rendez-vous à l'Opéra (Dargaud, 2025).


She remains keen on working with ink and paper, and her drawings are regularly exhibited in festivals and various places dedicated to comic book culture.
