Most of these poems were written by Mrs. Ewing to fit pictures in Aunt Judy’s Magazine, and the original woodcuts by German artists are reproduced with them. A linnet is buried, a willow-man comes to life, a doll is sung to sleep and a boy addresses his hobby-horse, while playful footnotes on lobsters and other creatures add natural history.
