Madeline Stickers


Madeline is a children's book series written by Ludwig Bemelmans, an Austrianauthor. The books have been adapted into numerous formats, spawning telefilms, television series and a live action feature film. The adaptations are famous for having the closing line, first uttered by actress Ethel Barrymore in a play: "That's all there is; there isn't any more." The first book in the series, Madeline, was published in 1939. It proved to be a success, and Bemelmans wrote many sequels to the original during the 1940s and 1950s. The series continues to this day, written by Bemelmans' grandson John Bemelmans-Marciano.

Main Characters

Madeline: The smallest of the girls and the title character. She is about 7–8 years old, and is the only redhead. She had her appendix removed in the first story. She is known for being the bravest and most outgoing of the girls.

Miss Clavel: Madeline's teacher and commonly believed to be a nun, but her dress in Bemelman's illustrations is actually that of a nurse. The fact that she is not a nun is also evidenced by the fact that she is not called Sister Clavel or Mother Clavel. Ms. Clavel is always trying to keep Madeline out of trouble.

Pepito: The Spanish Ambassador's arrogant son. He lives next door to the girls; used to be extremely naughty, but Madeline influenced him to change his ways. Due to his bratty nature and the distinctive hat that he constantly wore, he was called "the Bad Hat" by the girls. He stopped wearing the hat after he befriended the girls. He might have a crush on Madeline.

Lord Cucuface (known in the movie as Lord Covington): Chairman of the school's board of trustees, had a change of heart after receiving one of Genevieve's puppies.
