GLAMOUR AND PANACHE: DANCING WITH THE STARS


Some of Mrs. Trowbridge's journal pages were quite whimsical. This is such a page.

Wherever she went, Mrs. T would write and sketch life in the rain forest. In this sketch she captured the dashing Phinneas Toad and his lovely wife and dance partner, Lily Paddington. Every year Phinneas and Lily are the stars of the Frog Hop, a grand event that is attended by hundreds of frogs that hop in from far and wide.

Phinneas looks so dashing and Lily is always the essence of glamour. Who could be more elegant on the dance pad than Phinneas and Lily? Okay...maybe George Hamilton and Edyta Sliwinska, on their best night.
