    Très belle série, le premier timbre de Hong Kong fait référence à la fable de Jean de La Fontaine "le lièvre et la tortue " c est une des plus enseignée à l'école avec celle ci "Le corbeau et le renard"

    Fairy tales would be a good theme to collect, these illustrations are all so different, yet the tales are so familiar the world over.

    I like the hare chilling out with the peace sign matching his ears. A nice variety of stamps, folk tales are one of my favourite subjects.

    I'm envious that you have received the Loch Ness monster stamp
