书籍简介

这部前传改编自《纽约时报》畅销系列小说，该系列小说现已在 Disney+ 上线！

蒂米·费勒可不是一般的侦探——他是他所在小镇，甚至可能是全美伟大的侦探。他的名气如此之大，以至于已经有七本关于他生平的小说问世，还有一部电影。因此，他同意向世人讲述他非凡的起源故事，由他的传记作家兼挚友查尔斯·“罗洛”·图克斯口述记录。

《纽约时报》畅销书作家斯蒂芬·帕斯蒂斯携新作回归，为您带来这部既搞笑又温馨的小说，讲述我们心爱的糊涂侦探的传奇故事——包括他那条红色围巾的由来！

The prequel to the New York Times best-selling series that's now a movie on Disney+!

Timmy Failure is not just any detective—he is the greatest detective in his town, perhaps the nation. He is so famous that there have been seven books written about his life. Plus a movie. And so he has agreed to provide the world with his extraordinary origin story, as dictated to his biographer and best friend, Charles “Rollo” Tookus.

New York Times best-selling author Stephan Pastis is back with the hilariously heartwarming tale of how it all started for our favorite clueless detective—including how he got that red scarf!

作者简介

斯蒂芬·帕斯蒂斯成为畅销漫画家的道路颇为独特：他曾就读法学院。并非他不想成为漫画家——在洛杉矶郊区圣马力诺长大的他，童年时期就经常独自一人画画，度过了许多快乐的时光。他经常被邀请为校报创作漫画。但当他从加州大学伯克利分校政治学专业毕业时，这位完全自学成才的艺术家却觉得自己的漫画不太可能被发行。

于是，他百无聊赖地坐在加州大学洛杉矶分校法学院的课堂上，开始绘制漫画人物“老鼠”（后来这个角色成为他所有漫画作品的常驻角色）。创作灵感一直伴随着他，直到1993年从法学院毕业，并在旧金山的一份律师事务所工作。到了1996年，他终于开始向漫画发行公司投稿。斯蒂芬·帕斯蒂斯（Stephan Pastis）在经历了一连串的拒绝后，坚持创作出了他的代表作——漫画《珍珠猪》（Pearls Before Swine）。这部漫画通过傲慢的老鼠、傻乎乎却又可爱的猪、爱思考的山羊以及一群拟人化的动物的奇遇，以及数不胜数的双关语，记录了他的世界观。该漫画于1999年开始在各大报纸上连载，如今可以在800多家报纸、数十种书籍合集上阅读。其中一些合集还曾登上《纽约时报》畅销书榜单。

2013年，帕斯蒂斯受到启发，决定突破每日连载漫画的局限，挑战成为儿童作家。他创作了面向中学生的系列小说《蒂米·菲勒》（Timmy Failure）一部，讲述了一个笨拙的小侦探和他的北极熊搭档的故事。这部小说一经出版便大获成功，获得了极高的评价，并迅速成为《纽约时报》和全国独立书店的畅销书。帕斯蒂斯笔下这位有缺陷的侦探如今已被翻译成近 40 种语言，在全球出版，成为儿童文学界的一颗耀眼新星。

Stephan Pastis took an unusual route to becoming a number-one best-selling comics creator: he went to law school. It's not that he didn't want to become a cartoonist - as a child growing up in the Los Angeles suburb of San Marino, he spent many happy hours off by himself drawing. He was routinely called on to create cartoons for his school newspapers. But by the time he graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in political science, Pastis - a completely self-taught artist - felt it unlikely that his cartoons would ever be syndicated.

So he found himself sitting in class at UCLA Law School, hopelessly bored, sketching the character Rat (who would later become a mainstay of all his future comic strips). Creative inspiration followed him through graduation in 1993 to his first law firm job in San Francisco, where by 1996 he finally started submitting his comics to syndicates. Persisting through an initial spate of rejections, Stephan Pastis created his signature strip Pearls Before Swine, chronicling his worldview through the misadventures of arrogant Rat, dumb-but-sweet Pig, philosophical Goat, along with a brood of other anthropomorphized animals and many, many puns. The strip was eventually syndicated in 1999 and can now be read in over 800 newspapers, dozens of book collections. Several of the collections have appeared on The New York Times Best Sellers list.

In 2013, inspired to break out of the box of a daily comic strip, Pastis took on the new challenge of becoming a children's author, penning the first book in a projected middle grade series called Timmy Failure, about an inept kid detective and his sidekick polar bear. Fail it did not; receiving stellar reviews and becoming an instant New York Times and National Indie bestseller. Now published in nearly 40 languages worldwide, Pastis' defective detective has become a breakout children's book character.
