«Le Perroquet qui bégayait» is Alfred Hitchcock's juvenile mystery novel, published by Hachette in paperback (220 pages, in French).
A parrot named Shakespeare stutters when saying a phrase, and five other parrots and a myna repeat isolated words that seem to be part of a coded message. The three young investigators follow the trail of the seven missing birds while encountering people willing to do anything to get hold of them, in an adventure full of riddles and dangers.
Second installment of the Classic Three Investigators series, published in France in 1999; the original title, The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot, appeared in 1964.
Ideal for readers aged 9 to 12 who enjoy classic mysteries featuring young detectives.
Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was an English filmmaker. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense", Hitchcock became as well known as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo appearances in most of his films, and his hosting and producing the television anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955–65). Among other accolades, his films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director, despite five nominations.
