Description
For centuries the bells of Notre-Dame have rung over Paris, marking weddings, funerals, victories and ordinary Sunday mornings. In Victor Hugo’s novel, it is Quasimodo who rings them, alone in the tower, gazing down at the city and the crowds who never see his heart. Generations of readers have wept for him, and still do.
This box pays homage to that beloved story. The hunchback from Hugo’s classic tale is captured in vibrant hand-painted detail, a tribute to both the novel and the cathedral that inspired it. It belongs on the bookshelf of a literature lover, beside a well-worn copy of the novel, or on the desk of a French teacher. Offer it to a traveler who has stood before Notre-Dame and watched its towers rise against the sky, or to a theater fan who knows every song from the musical. It is a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves Paris, its history and its legends.
