The funniest Madam & Eve collection yet, and we’re not
clowning around, say the publishers!
They’re back, and better than ever! This year sees the
release of the 22nd Madam & Eve,
and it’s another winner from this sharp and witty creative team.
Madam, Eve, Thandi and Mother Anderson return with their
chaotic and totally recognisable South African household in the latest
hilarious reflection of everyday life in South Africa. Featuring the humour
South Africans have come to know and love, Send
in the Clowns promises to be a laugh a minute, and is sure to be a family
favourite and welcome addition to any bookshelf.
Stephen Francis is the writing half of the Madam & Eve team. Born in the United
States in 1949, Stephen moved to South Africa in 1988. In 1992, witnessing the
interesting and often funny dynamic between his South African mother-in-law and
her domestic housekeeper, he conceptualised the Madam & Eve strip. Stephen Francis is also an award-winning
scriptwriter, and radio and TV personality.
Rico forms the other half of the creative team – as
illustrator. Born in Austria in 1966, he now lives and works in Johannesburg
and has been drawing cartoons ever since he was old enough to hold a pencil.
Besides his work on Madam & Eve,
Rico also produces illustrations for a wide range of other publications.
Send in the Clowns is
published in paperback by Jacana and
retails at R160. ISBN 978-1-4314-2031-5
