Compiled by two sisters in 1915, this anthology gathers spring legends, nature tales and Easter stories arranged month by month from April onward. Readers meet the Spring-Maiden and the Frost Giants, learn how the bluebird was chosen herald, and find Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant alongside fables of butterflies, caterpillars and flowers given voices of their own.

A seasonal treasury for families and teachers who like to read stories that follow the turning year. Download the free EPUB.
