Little Norbyrt





 In dreams, he was the Little Match Girl, spending hour after mesmerising hour in front of fancy, colourful windows on perishingly cold evenings.




Accepting of this cruel fate and waiting for the warm embrace of Grandmama.



 
 Grandmama, did not however, pull him tenderly into her warm breast when the chill found him.




  It was the Governessa's icy fingers, that grasped this little one, and took him down among the willow roots to join her brood.




And hence, the fate of that sorrowful Little Norbyrt, was sealed one chilly winters eve.

Norbyrt is much warmed by all of your kind comments, thank you very much!
For Jeff and Athena, I'm afraid I have been experiencing an especially cruel streak of late, ok, perhaps not especially so....

Dearheart Norbyrt brings a poignant tear to my eye, Melanie ... I wish I could save him from his cruel fate and nest him inside my hair ... let's you and I send him some of our inner dancer's sparks, then he'll know he is never alone. Melanie ~ you are a brilliant teller of magical worlds and doll maker sublime. xo
