Welcome to Litsy!

What a sweet story! Yes, I cried during the Winter chapters.😭 I heard that in 1968 Julie & husband Blake Edwards were shooting a movie in Ireland at an old manor house enclosed with thick walls & a cottage decorated entirely with seashells. “The moment I saw it, Julie says, “the seed of a story lodged in my mind.” Thrilled this amazing actress/singer added writing children‘s books to her repertoire.🤩🙌🏻

It may be menopause, but Mandy has made emotional. A realistic look of an orphan who experienced bitterness and frustration because she doesn't understand the feelings of desiring something of her own. She thinks it's a cottage she needs, but it's a family.

It just reminds me of the peace and joy of reading my wonderful books as a child. The font, the yellowing pages, the smell, all make me forget I am an adult and I back to simpler times.

While reading The Tale of The Firebird for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 , I came across the Russian fairytale that one of my favorite books, The Snowchild is based upon!
I love a literary surprise!
What Serendipity! 🇷🇺🤍💙❤️ 🇷🇺

This is interesting!
The illustrator is a master of Russian decorative art, one of the last most impressive artists in the great Russian tradition of book illustration. He left Russia after the Revolution & settled in Paris. He translated 4 Russian fairytales into French, writing them out in beautiful calligraphy & illustrating them on heavy vellum pages
