ART HISTORY ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 7

 Week of Love

7th of December - Lisant un conte

Oh please Mum, tell me a story,

while we snuggle up and cuddle,

swaddle the tale in snuggles and cuddles,

of Beauty and the Beast, Lumière and Cogsworth,

or the star-crossed romance of Romeo and Juliet,

or the battles of El Cid, or the Fairy Queen

who fell for a donkey-headed actor.

I can never get enough of all your stories,

told with oodles of love, and cuddles here and there...

And you will be proud of me, Mum,

when I come of age and, as an adult,

I have a passion for literature.

I have lovingly watered the seeds

of all stories you planted in me,

as a token of our mutual LOVE.
