A little while ago my mother gave me a nice little brown suitcase. “I found this in the attic and I thought you would be happy to have it for the children. It’s full of old memories”. Oh yes!
I found a few dear books from my childhood including this Tit’Pom that my sister used to read to me when I was 4 or 5. I really love the mix of puppet and pure drawings. I am just back from a trip in the Swiss Alps, and it is fun to remember that we used to ski with these wooden sticks, red hats and thick woolen sweaters. It is just another world!
