It looks more like voodoo than a re-enactment of a fairy tale teller's pre-teen daughter's caprices.

(grin)<BR/><BR/>It has everything to do with Sophie Rostopchine, though - aka La Comtesse de Ségur, she was one of the most famous and classical tellers of tales for French children. <BR/><BR/>Amerloque recalls reading "Blandine et la Fée Caprice" to his daughter many, many years ago. (He also remembers reading "Blandine, Bonne Biche et Beau Minon", too, so perhaps both tales were in one of her collections.) <BR/><BR/>With her friends, Amerloque's pre-teen daughter put stuffed figures in the forests, very much like the ones shown. (smile)<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>L'AmerloqueL'Amerloquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447075237256204460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-24500673774573584612007-10-27T14:43:00.000+02:002007-10-27T14:43:00.000+02:00Is the last word on that message, "merci"?

What a strange thing to find in your woods.<BR/><BR/>I hope you'll be able to continue blogging from here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
