Benjamin Rabier - Gedeon / Roudoudou - 1923

Gédéon, always impulsive, adventurous and ready to dive into the most unforeseen situations, often leads his entourage into risky undertakings, while Roudoudou stands out more for his loyalty, generosity and good sense - Together, they live a succession of episodes where games, travel, discoveries and comic incidents multiply.
