Earlier this year I was lucky enough to meet Zoe Toft, who has one of the very best book review sites you could hope to find. Playing By The Book explores children’s books with a rare passion and attention to detail.
Zoe and I met in Lichfield when I was performing with the Orchestra of the Music Makers this summer (see here), and we had a lovely chat over tea and cake.
And it’s tea and cake that brings us together again – albeit on the internet – for Zoe has not only reviewed Ella Bella Ballerina and the Nutcracker, but has also recreated Madame Rosa’s Nutcracker-themed tea party, to dazzling effect! Sugar Mice, Sugar Plums and ballerina cake were on the menu! Just look at these pictures!
What a great thing to do with your children in the run up to Christmas; a veritable Land of Sweets!
In her post, Zoe reviews Maurice Sendak’s Nutcracker too. To read the article, click here:
