Children of the Game Jean Cocteau 1955 Les Enfants Terribles is a 1929 novel by Jean Cocteau, published by Editions Bernard Grasset.

He was one of the foremost avant-garde artists of the 20th century and highly influential on the Surrealist and Dadaist movements, among others. The National Observer suggested that "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man". --Wikipedia Illustrated with black-and-white drawings by the author.
