The cover picture of snow was my favorite until I saw The Peasant Wedding. This and other scenes from ordinary life are a joy. I hear the music and see the room whirl. I am heated from dancing and thirsty for drink.

This is not the Bruegel I thought I knew. The joy on pages 48 and 49 is worth the price of the book. "Children's Games" was painted in 1560 but is as true today, wherever you find children and they are left to their own devices to have fun. Climbing trees, chasing one another, hitting things with sticks, and - my favorite when a child - spinning around and around until you're dizzy are pictured here.

Great painting done by a special man. You're right Georgia, ordinary life at its best. I could stare at that table for hours.

As you say, Stacey, "ordinary life is best."
