| General Description : | The Castafiore Emerald (French: Les Bijoux de la Castafiore) is the twenty-first volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Conceived as a narrative exercise, Hergé wanted to see if he could maintain suspense throughout sixty-two pages of story with no villains, exotic locations, guns or danger, and with a clearly deceptive solution. Consequently it is a story rich in comic setpieces, red herrings, mistaken interpretations, false tracks, pseudo-disappearances, and colourful characters. This is the only Tintin story in which the characters remain at their home at Marlinspike Hall and do not venture to another part of the world. |
