First book



Whenever I see Montmédy Citadel, I remember a fairy-story book I had as a child.  I could only think there must have been an illustration in that book which the Citadel, on its high hill, reminded me of.



Today, I pulled the book from a shelf…


 

...and there it is!

This must have been my first book - I was all of five-and-a-half months old that Christmas and it became a much-loved companion throughout my childhood together with another given to me by my grandmother on my fifth birthday...

























It was good to see these old friends again.
