Un món de mares fantàstiques
The Mother of Archimedes has decided to bring the past closer and gather the Mothers of some of the protagonists of her favourite stories to tell us about their sons and daughters. Einstein's Mother takes tea with Robin Hood's, the Ogre's and the Ugly Duckling's. Cleopatra's mother is there along with King Gaspar's, Sherezade's and Marco Polo's. Straight from the bookstore come Sherlock Holmes's mother and those of Tom Sawyer and Pippi Longstocking. Frida Kahlo's mother and King Kong's mother share anecdotes with Marie Curie's, Sancho Panza's, Tchaikovsky's and Buster Keaton's. In one corner, Alice's Mother, Peter Pan's, and the Little Mermaid's reminisce about their children's stories which are as winning as Martin Luther King's mother's - or any of the other beautiful tales and memories.
