“The very first Kinder Surprise” is how author Caroline Charron describes Faberge Eggs in this really fascinating article in Holiday magazine. The eggs are one of lifes intriguing mysteries and I was immediately drawn to read more. Between 1885 to 1916, Pierre-Carl Faberge created 50 Easter eggs for the Russian Imperial family but when World War I hit the precious objects went missing and there has been a hunt on ever since. Miraculously there are still some eggs not accounted for and with the story of the man who bought one in a flea market only to find out it was worth a fortune, make sure you keep your eyes peeled next time you’re at a car boot sale!
The article ‘The Greatest Egg Hunt’ is in the latest issue of Holiday and gives a really interesting insight into the history of the eggs and the hunt to find them all.
