Description

Step back in time to 17th-century Paris and discover the story of Thérèse, a talented young girl with big dreams. Living at the Gobelins Manufactory, where Europe's greatest artisans create luxury objects for King Louis XIV, Thérèse practices her own tapestry weaving skills on a small loom at home. With the help of family and friends, Thérèse sets out to complete an ambitious project that will surprise even the king himself. This charming tale is brought to life with original paintings by award-winning artist Renée Graef, which illustrate not only the story but also the intricate craft of tapestry weaving. Thérèse's fictional adventures are inspired by real people and events, making this a unique and engaging read for anyone interested in history, art, or just a good story.
