Highlights include a phantasmagoric rendering of a violin recital by the virtuoso Paganini and the unfolding story of a family of street performers encountered on Waterloo Bridge.</p><p><em> FROM THE MEMOIRS OF HERR VON SCHNABELEWOPSKI: </em> My father was named Schnabelewopski my mother Schnabelewopska. I was born as legitimate son of both the 1st of April 1795 in Schnabelewops. My great aunt the old lady von Pipitzka nursed me as a child and told me pretty tales and often sang me to sleep with a song of which I have forgotten both the words and tune; but I can never forget the strange mysterious way in which she nodded as she sang and how mournfully her only tooth the solitary hermit of her mouth peeped out.</p><p><em>THE RABBI OF BACHARACH:</em>On the Lower Rhine where its banks begin to lose their smiling aspect where hills and cliffs with romantic ruined castles rise more defiantly and a wild and sterner dignity prevails there lies like a strange and fearful tale of the olden time the gloomy and ancient town of Bacharach. But these walls with their toothless battlements and turrets in whose nooks and niches the winds blew and the sparrows rest were not always so decayed and fallen and in these poverty-stricken repulsive muddy lanes which one sees through the ruined tower there did not always reign that dreary silence which is only now and then broken by crying children scolding women and lowing cows. These walls were once proud and strong and these lanes were alive with a fresh free life power and pride joy and sorrow much love and much hate.</p><p><strong>Insurance & handling is included free.
