Barbapapa is both the title character, and name of the "species" of said character, of a series of children's books written in the 1970s by Annette Tison and Talus Taylor, who resided in Paris, France.[1] The books were originally written in French (barbe à papa is French for candy floss, or - literally - "father's beard"), and were later translated into over 30 languages |
