In the book, Fool’s Assassin by Robin Hobb, FitzChivalry Farseer treats his small daughter, the Lady Bee, to a trip to the nearest market town where he buys her a warm and lovely red and gray shawl for the cold Winter. Warm yourself with this two-colored, textured shawl, reminiscent of the workings of summer bees among the flowers, and fit for any Lady of an estate.
