Rudyard Kipling’s “Just so Stories”, written more than a century ago, are still incredibly modern.Made to be told or read aloud, they use the magic of the language to carry the listener into a poetic universe, a world in motion, a world still pure where everything is possible: the world of “all beginnings”.

And late 2008 will see the familiar trio of Rafael, Mona and Nabi entering this, as yet, unfamiliar world of very ancient arts which has influenced so much of our Western arts and way of life. Still curious, still questioning, still children, the three discover carved wooden friezes from 15th century Egypt, decorative plates from 10th century Iran, astrolabes showing the way to Mecca, together with horoscopes and amazing bracelets to wear on your arm or ankles – a fabulous collection of treasures which provokes wonder, ever more questions and that now famous trio’s usual repartee !
