(The Child and the Enchantments). A Lyric Fantasy in Two Parts (ne act) by Ravel;libretto by Colette; premiered in Monte Carlo, 1925.
Toys, books and furniture rebel against a bad child who has ill-used them; fleeingto the garden he finds the trees and animals equally hostile. They relent when he bandages the paw of a baby squirrel hurt in the rumpus. The child runs back to the comforting figure of his mother.
