In fact, he once fearlessly told me that he “weighs his press by the pound.” In our story, he reveals that, deep down, he still wants to get into the zoo, where he can be exhibited with all the other animals.Īt this point, the zookeepers chime in. Spot the leopard continues, “I would like to live this way this is where I want to stay.” $pot always claimed that he didn’t care about museums and what other people thought of him. His wish will come true at London’s Tate Modern this coming May, though by now he’s so supersized and has produced so much art that much of it won’t be exhibited. $pot has never had a retrospective show in a museum, though for almost 20 years he’s been the most talked-about artist in the world. ![]() ![]() At the outset of the tale, Spot, the leopard, says to the two children, “I will go into the zoo, I want to see it yes I do.” Let’s take the zoo as a metaphor for the museum. ![]() ![]() Not only that, but this time he has a newborn baby to look after too.

My next fav is Not Quite a Courtesan by Maggie Robinson. Rather you like the book or not it is worth it just to read this story alone. Not many women then or even today or bold enough to do that. more and let her man know that he was not pleasing her in bed. As a matter of fact the next book that I will be talking about will be another by Ms. This is the first book I have read by either author and for this one at least it will not be my last. There are 3 stories in this book: Beauty and the Brute by Virginia Henley, How to Seduce a Wife by Kate Pearce, and Not Quite a Courtesan by Maggie Robinson.I will just say that my favorite out of the 3 was How to Seduce a Wife by Kate Pearce. ![]() Well, none of them are really bad, or else I would have stopped reading, just not to my liking.
