Enfantines by Valery Larbaud

A delicate collection of brief lyrical pieces that capture the small wonders and anxieties of childhood with playful, melodic language; scenes of games, toys, first discoveries and family life are rendered with a blend of naive observation and retrospective wit, producing moments that are at once whimsical, tender and quietly elegiac as adult memory and child’s imagination meet.
