Synopsis
An exploration of the relationship between a grandmother and her granddaughter as a second baby is about to be born. This work also explores the darker side of childhood., Tales of Innocence and Experience is a captivating exploration of the relationship between a grandmother and her granddaughter as a second baby is about to be born. Alive to the special sweetness of the relationship, Figes also explores the darker side of childhood. How in fairytales such as 'Snow White', 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'Hansel and Gretel' difficult emotions like jealousy and anger, fear of death and abandonment are evoked and transformed by the storyteller's art. It is at this point that the author evokes a fairy tale of her own privileged Berlin childhood which was brutally shattered when her family escaped from the Nazis to England, leaving behind her much loved grandparents, who later perished in Dachau. As Eva Figes says, 'Women lose their innocence, not with loss of virginity, but with childbirth', but a new child around allows the grandmother the chance we all seek to sneak back into the garden of innocence.

    My mother collected Taylor and Ng mugs, so I grew up using them. When I saw these mugs listed they brought back so many memories of home in San Francisco in the 1960’s through the 1990’s. The mug arrived packed well and exactly as pictured and described. Great seller, fast shipping . Perfect transaction. A+++
