"Children hear them, see them, know them;
See the things the fairies show them
Harlequin in magic poses."
From the 1923 Commedia play: The Harlequinade, by Dion Clayton Caltrop and Granville Barker. The painting is "Carnevale di Arlecchino" by Joan Miro. Both seem to be kicking up some new ideas for the new novel...which fairly soon must have a working title because it is getting boring saying "the new novel I am working on." Some how without a title it doesn't seem real.
Midori Snyder is the author of nine books for children and adults, published in English, French, Dutch, and Italian. She won the Mythopoeic Award for The Innamorati, a novel inspired by early Roman myth and the Italian "Commedia dell'Arte" tradition....
