Herve Bourhis was born in Touraine in 1974. Best known for his books on music, such as "" The Little Book of Rock"" or "" The Little Book of Black music"" , he has been the author of around thirty graphic novels since 2002. He alternates between contemporary or even political stories with books for young people or humorous ones. He also alternates between fiction and the historic-pop-patchwork, of which he invented a personal form in 2007 with ""The Little Book of Rock,"" an illustrated chronology of rock culture since its origins translated into eleven languages.
""A fascinating, fun, informative, and nostalgic read from cover to cover.""--James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review ""You can open it to any page and find something interesting to read, but it will never strain your brain or make you feel like you're having a nightmare flashback to your high school World History class.""--Sarah Boslaugh, The Arts Stl ""It makes for a perfect gift for Anglophiles, as well as anyone interested in the history of a country that once ruled much of the world.""--Lindsay Pereira, Broken Frontier ""I like the fact that it's all art and not photos, which gives it more of a ""fan-made"" feel."" --Sheena McNeil, Sequential Tart ""It's a fun book, and Bourhis has an astonishing reach here""--Andrew Wheeler, The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent ""A fabulously eclectic years-by-year catalogue of events, achievements, style-&-fashion forays, music-&-movie moments, and less definable landmarks.""--Win Wiacek, Now Read This! ""The British are coming, again, thanks to graphic novelist Hervé Bourhis."" --John Freeman, Down the Tubes
