Jacob Two-Two
Jacob Two-Two is a series of children's books written by Mordecai Richler: Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang (1975), Jacob Two-Two and the Dinosaur (1987) and Jacob Two-Two's First Spy Case (1995) written by Mordecai Richler, and Jacob Two-Two on the High Seas (2009) written by Cary Fagan.
Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang has twice been filmed, Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang (1978 film) and Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang (1999 film), the latter film starring Gary Busey. The titles by Mordecai Richler have inspired an animated TV series Jacob Two-Two (TV series) produced by Nelvana, in Canada in English on YTV and in French on VRAK TV (French), and in the United States on Qubo.
Jacob is the youngest child of five and has to say things twice because people do not hear him the first time. The character is said to have been inspired by Jacob Richler, the author's youngest son. Every character in Jacob's family has the same name as their counterpart in the real Richler family. However, despite the names, Richler stated that the characters were not based on his family.
In September 2009 Tundra Books, the publisher of the Jacob Two-Two series, released a new fourth book titled Jacob Two-Two on the High Seas. Mordecai Richler had always planned to write new adventures and had started a fourth book before he died in 2001. With the full support of the Richler family, the new book was written by Canadian author Cary Fagan. It is the prequel to the first three books with the family sailing back to Canada from England after Jacob's father writes an important novel.
Tundra will also re-release the previous three titles in the series with new art and covers by Toronto artist, DuĊĦan Petri?i?.
