Description
Calliope music drifts across the fairground as the sun sinks behind the Ferris wheel. Hand in hand, two sisters race toward the carousel, arguing about who gets the white horse with the golden mane. Their father buys three tickets, then a fourth for himself, and climbs onto a painted rooster with tremendous dignity, while the operator pretends not to notice and the ride begins to turn.
This colourful merry-go-round, featuring children and playful figures with detailed hand-painting, is a cheerful celebration of carnival joy. Make it a first-birthday present, a playful anniversary gift for a couple who met at a county fair, or a nursery treasure for a baby girl or boy. Grown-up collectors of carousels and fairground memorabilia will find it equally irresistible. Display it on a nursery dresser beside a music box, on a sunny bookshelf among storybooks, or in a curio cabinet where its colours can shine. It brings out the child in everyone who sees it, along with memories of cotton candy and sticky fingers.
