Story poems for small listeners: a nest of fairies beneath a wild rose, a sick fairy, an enchanted tale of Banbury Cross, three Margery Daws, a little seamstress and an afternoon of berrying. Several pieces catch New England childhood exactly, as when the boys tell their sister that girls cannot slide down the pasture hill without a sled.

Light verse from the New England author best known for her short stories, made for reading aloud. Download the free EPUB.
