We are approaching the end of The Year of the Tiger
and I wanted to salute these majestic, wonderful creatures
who unfortunately are constantly under threat of extinction.
Long live the Tiger!

ReplyDeletei wonder if you know of the 'caroline' series, a childhood illustrated book (read it in the seventies)? hard to find these days, it seems. caroline may be called a different name, of course, over at yours.
ReplyDeleteyour tigre set off those memeories ('caroline in india', may have been the title), and nów i'm looking again... ;)
What a grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat collection— well done, Laura!
ReplyDeletePS. happy new year of the rabbit!
