In a cottage beneath an ice-capped mountain, Madame Bretton waits for Pierre and Marie to bring the goats down with their old St. Bernard, Hector. Through the family’s silk-house, the wisdom of Père Benedict and Pierre’s journeys to market and mill, the story follows a whole season of silk making: hatching worms, the harvest of cocoons and the craft of reeling.
A story that teaches how silk is made without feeling like a lesson, for curious young readers. Download the free EPUB.
