Talk:Ma Mère l'Oye
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Re: "Toy Mandarins"
The edition of Ma Mere I have by Dover publications gives "toy mandarins". I haven't been able to find much information on the writer Marie-Catherine, Comtesse d'Aulnoy or the story, though.
There are more quotes from the score but the others are fairly long.
Ah, yes! I have now checked in a bigger dictionary, a 2-volume Larousse, and I found it can also mean a small porcelain figure with a mobile head, in addition to a pagoda. --AlainV 19:48, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
