1 classes focus upon the paring of vintage desserts with literature written for children of all ages, including adults. Each class will feature one vintage dessert, which will be sampled by all. Yum!! The origin and historical significance of the "featured vintage dessert" (FVD) will be discussed and its recipe shared.

THE ART THIEF by Michael Finkel
For centuries, works of art have been stolen in countless ways from all over the world, but no one has been quite as successful at it as the master thief Stéphane Breitwieser. He carried out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight years in museums and cathedrals all over Europe, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion.
