Tchaikovsky

Melody's Dad was going through his books when he came across this book. It is a biography of composer Tchaikovsky.
The book was given to him by a friend back in 1949 when he was still living in Holland.
He had forgotten about it until he came across it.
When we picked Melody's parents up to run some errands he brought it out to show it to us.
It also became my photo for the day
