Notes
Introduce small children to the charm of poetry with this magic anthonology of verse. Fairies, elves, mermaids and water-babies inhabit the enchanting world conjured up by such poets as William Shakespeare, William Allingham, Elizabeth Fleming and Thomas Hood. However, most of the poems have been written by Shirley Barber herself - and all are complemented by her delightful illustrations.Contents
